The engine returned to idle. This was the second time this happened, the first being three weeks earlier, shortly after having power sliding door recall work performed. I am convinced there is a defect in the electronic…

We have a 2011 toyota sienna xle that has acceleration issues. While in cruise control, when the vehicle needs to accelerate to regain speed or up a slope, the engine races to 5000-5500 rpm before speeding up. Also, on some left turns the engine nearly dies. The dealer says the engine racing problem is normal and part of the engineering. Big problem. *tr
