Throttle hesitation causes unsafe driving. Often times after slowing down at a yield sign and then accelerating there is a hesitation like the accelerator pedal is dead for about 1 second and then the truck suddenly lunges forward. A few months after purchasing my truck i reported the issue to shelor toyota and they did tsb 0111-22 which temporarily fixed the problem. Drove the truck for about 10 days and it was hesitation free. After 10 days or so the hesitation returned and it was as bad as ever. It’s very dangerous when driving on wet roads. The danger is slowing down to an almost stop to turn right or left on to another street. Once i complete the turn and try to accelerate on to the next street, i am forced to keep depressing the accelerator more and more to make my truck move forward. A few seconds later when the acceleration does occur, i lose control of the back end because i am now at half throttle om a wet road and it sends too much torque to the rear wheels causing them to lose traction. I’ve tried to adjust my driving habits to allow for the unpredictable throttle response but it is impossible to predict what the throttle response will be from one time to the next. It is a struggle to drive this truck in a safe manner because there is hardly ever any linear acceleration. I took my truck back to shelor toyota march 15th 2024 for some warranty work and reported the hesitation had returned right after they previously completed tsb 0111-22. This march 2024 visit to shelor toyota they contacted toyota technical assistance regarding the issue and according to toyota assistance “condition is a normal characteristic of this vehicle”. Shelor toyota does great warranty work and treats me very well and i only have praise for them.
