Consumer Description

1. TRANSMISSION SUDDEN JERKING/SHIFTING WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN CITY AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ANYWHERE FROM 5-10 MPH WILL THEN JERK BACKWARDS THEN FORWARDS MAKING THE CAR JUMP ABOUT 10 INCHES FORWARD. CAN BE REPLICATED AT ANY TIME. 2. CARS FRONT END SUSPENSION SEEMS TO SQUEAK/GROAN WILL PULLING INTO MY BANK OR DRIVE WAY, ALMOST ANY UNLEVELED PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN I CAN HEAR IT WITH VERY LITTLE WIND NOISE. 3. MY SEAT IN THE VEHICLE BROKE AT 7,000 MILES. 4. MY BRAKES SOUND AS IF THE ROTORS ARE BENT WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. 5. NO FIX FOR TRANSMISSION. TODAY THEY ARE REFLASHING THE PCM - POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. WE'LL SEE IF THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT IT FROM THE DAMAGE THAT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. I AM WORKING WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE WITH THE ISSUE.
