| When the suv shifts from 1st to 2rd gear the engine revs up about 1000 rpms and hesitates 2-5 seconds before the shift takes place. i can't rely on power when needed because of this. it's not constant, about 30% of the time it occurs. the same thing happens when down shifting. the dealer, kendall lexus of eugene oregon (rick strong-service manager) is aware of the problem and says toyota won't put out a new chip to fix the problem. rick strong also said i told the salesman he should inform potential buyers about this problem before they purchase a vehicle. this problem is ongoing since i bought the vehicle. | |||
