Transmission failed at speed on i-95. With van, cargo and 5 occupants at traffic speed in the right lane, the engine raced, the van dropped out of cruise control, and we drifted to a halt on the side of the road. While moving, i shifted to "4" and "3" then back to "d" with no acceleration. Had we been in any other lane, the transition would have been harder and more dangerous than it was. The engine and other van…

I have a 2006 toyota sienna le minivan. A month after the purchase i noticed that the transmission did not shift correctly.

I have taken the van to the toyota dealership 5 times to get it looked at and everytime they tell me there is nothing wrong with…

Upon acceleration to move through a stop sign or light, the transmission hesitates in neutral, leaving those following about to rear end the vehicle. Or, if you accelerate, the vehicle lurches into gear throwing passengers forward. I have mentioned this problem every time i have had the…

Vehicle surges while gently applying accelerator and can't decide which gear to be in. Transmission appears to hesitate, especially noticeable at 5-10 pmh and while turning. Dealership says its completely normal. The drive-by-wire system cannot react quick enough to changes in acceleration. After days of research i see this is occurring on avalon, camry, lexus es300-330, highlander, bmw,audi, vw touareg,…
