2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid Vehicle speed control Problems

“Three times now over the past 4 months, including an incident yesterday, when I try to accelerate from a stop, the car just rolls forward slowly as if in neutral, but there is zero acceleration power for about 5 seconds, and then it engages and accelerates like normal. There are no warning lights, no codes, no nothing at all, including acceleration power. The car acts as if everything is fine, but it doesn't accelerate at all for several seconds. Every time that this has happened has been when I was pulling out into traffic on a very busy road. …”

“There is an acceleration issue that only happens sporadically. From a stopped position (stop sign/stop light) when I let go of the break and start acceleration with the gas pedal, it doesn't work. Even if I press down more in the gas pedal, it merely creeps- as if it were in neutral. It happens with turns or going straight. I have no clue what could be causing it.

“On multiple occasions, my 2022 Venza does not accelerate when hitting the gas pedal after coming to a complete stop. I can press the pedal all the way to the ground but it is delayed by 3-5 seconds and just idles slowly into the intersection. This is happening when turning onto streets where you need to accelerate quickly to avoid oncoming traffic on left turns, and to not get rear ended when making right turns. No dash lights come on, the safety system is not engaged, no warning lights. The Venza is less than a year old and has 7k miles. …”

“The contact's companion leased a 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced unintended acceleration on several occasions. The contact stated that while in a drive-thru and slightly depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly accelerated unintendedly and crashed into a pole. There were no warning lights illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The contact's companion, who was occupying the front passenger's side seat sustained a broken sternum and eleven broken ribs and was hospitalized for four days. …”
