| The second generation toyota solara uses drive by wire technology instead of a throttle cable. my car experiences a lag between the time when i press the gas pedal and when the car actually starts to move. this happens in a specific scenario where the car is decelerating, but then the driver resumes accelerating. the lag can last up to 2 seconds and presents a critical safety issue which has led to three near miss accidents in intersections for me. this feels like it would if your car stalled in the middle of the intersection and then the light changed. a technical service bulletin was issued for certain vin solaras which reflashed the ecu to a new program in an effort to reduce the lag. this was not an effective corrective action. toyota has no solution at this time and this puts my safety at risk. *nm, | |||
