Acceleration is often hesitant and jerky. When at a complete stop,turning or driving , I will push the gas to accelerate but the truck takes about 2 seconds to finally move. The dealership stated it was the traction control because I turn too fast. When asked about why it hesitates to accelerate when at a stop or when I'm driving straight, they stated they didn't know but it wasn't an issue since their mechanicals couldn't replicate the problem. I don't feel confident or safe in this truck.

This tacoma sr5 is brand new, about 4700 miles on it so far. Noticing a lot of hesitation between the 35-60 MPH. After weeks of taking the vehicle back to savannah toyota, its the torque converter. The vehicle has slow pick up and hard acceleration from a stop to position. Toyota says it's normal, but several other owners are having the same problem. I have attached the service order to the complaint.
