It's a dangerous thing. The first time it happened to me was on Jun 15, 2021, only the light came on and when I turned off the car the light went off after a month it came on again and turned off by itself, and now it turned on and it doesn't turn off for nothing. and it only says the PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM & CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION alert. I was doing a little research online and I realized that many people have this problem regardless of the vehicle miles and this is dangerous since this happens on local streets or highways regardless of the speed of the vehicle. please investigate. Thank you.
During multiple episodes whether the car is at a stop or in motion there is a delay from when the accelerator is depressed to when the engine responds and revs leading to more power and speed. For example when stopped at a light trying to make a left turn, I press the accelerator down and there is no major change in speed and revs until seconds later when then engine then goes from 1000rpms to 3000rpms. This can be dangerous and almost led to an accident as there was an oncoming car that almost hit me as I was trying to make the turn. Also happened when I was trying to accelerate to merge onto the highway and there was an acceleration delay for a safe merge.
Slow acceleration during 1st 1 or 2 gears. Almost had multiple accidents in highway due to slow acceleration when changing lanes. The vehicle does not immediately respond to acceleration when accelerator pedal is used. The vehicle has a couple of seconds delay until it changing into next gear. Dealer non responsive. I brought it into my Toyota dealer and the service technician drove my car with me in the passenger seat. I explained that my previous (3) V6 Toyota Camry's did not have any problems with acceleration, he totally understood. The new 8- speed transmission has different shift settings which explains the acceleration delay and sometimes causes a jerky motion from a dead stop, driving in stop & go traffic or while entering a highway. According to the tech, they have been provided with no fixes for this problem and that the car will "learn" my driving habits the more I drive it.
