EVERY TIME I RELEASE OR PUSH ACCELERATION MORE THAN 50 MILES CAR GETS PULSE.(EXAMPLE : GENERATOR MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD EVERY TIME PISTON GOES UP AND DOWN) I FELL LIKE ENGINE WILL DROP. REPRODUCE STEPS : DRIVE CAR AT ABOUT 60 MILES/HR ON GOOD ROAD SO YOU CAN FEEL PULSE. NOW WE WANT KEEP SPEED 60 MILES SO WE WILL PRESS PEDAL TO MAINTAIN SPEED NOW AS SOON AS YOU WILL REMOVE PEDAL YOU WILL FEEL PULSE. NOW, YOU REMOVED PEDAL SO SPEED GOING DOWN SO AS SOON AS YOU TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED YOU WILL FELL PULSE AGAIN. REPRODUCE RATE ABOUT 85%. I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE AUGUST 2011. I HAD PUT MY CAR AT TOYOTA DEALER MORE THAN 5 TIMES AND THEY ADMIT THAT THEY ARE NOT FEELING THIS PULSE. THAN I PUT CASE TO NCDS FOR REVIEW. BUT TOYOTA RESET MY COMPUTER RIGHT BEFORE INSPECTION SO NCDS PERSON DIDN'T TEST DRIVE AND REFUSE MY CASE. AT TIME OF CASE, ONE TECHNICIAN FROM CHICAGO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM IN SOME DIFFERENT DIRECTION LIKE THIS PULSE IS NORMAL(WHICH IS VERY SCARY). ITS DEPEND ON WHERE YOU DRIVING (ITS EASY TO REPRODUCE IN HWY, I ALSO FEEL IN CITY TO BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT ITS CHANGING GEAR SO IT'S NORMAL) ITS DEPEND ON DRIVER( I TOLD HIM TO DRIVE AND FIX THIS ISSUE IF I AM NOT GOOD DRIVER). NOW THIS IS VERY SIMPLE ANSWER FOR TOYOTA TO GIVE YOU CUSTOMER AND REJECT CASE. ONCE THEY RESET COMPUTER OF MY CAR THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT TILL CAR COMPUTER LEARN DRIVER PATTERN. I WAIT 2MONTH , 1500 MILES. I ALSO ASK THEM THAT HOW LONG ? HOW MANY MILES ? BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S DEPEND ON DRIVER. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF ANYTHING WRING WE WILL HAPPY TO HELP IF ANYTHING WRONG IN ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. I ALSO DECIDE TO GO COURT BUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO INSPECT MY CAR AGAIN THEN THEY WILL ADMIT THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. SO, PLEASE HELP ME FOR THIS PROBLEM I SPEND 24000 DOLLAR. I DESERVER BETTER ANSWER THAN THIS ABOVE CRAZY ANSWER. *TR
