My 2015Tarago GLX 4 Cyl loses revs

[Eliseadh]

My new Tarago (2015) model often loses revs when turning corners and, having taken my foot off the accelerator, when I have turned the corner and depress the accelerator nothing happens. Unfortunately it is a random problem which makes it difficult to detect when I take it in for a service. Apart from this I just love my Tarago, but will be considering replacement if it continues into the future.

Are you(a passenger would be safer) able to get video of it?

[Eliseadh]

Thankyou Trent for responding to my question. Getting a video of the problem might be difficult, however will try. It is like the transmission goes into neutral and I have the take my foot off the accelerator then depress it again. Sometimes it happens quite often, other times seldom, but it is very upsetting and concerns me that there is a problem with either the transmission and/or fuel supply.

Can you advise which transmission is fitted to the vehicle; CVT or 6 speed sports automatic?

Has the transmission been recently serviced?

[Eliseadh]

It is automatic and has had its 10,000k service. Now done 15,000ks but will have to get the dealer to check it out. Worried about future problems.

[campbeam]

The dealer should be able to run a diagnostic check on both the engine and the transmission to identify the cause.

I have had a similar experience coasting into corners and trying to accelerate but encounter a delay before responding. Solved months later when I properly checked and adjusted the automatic transmission fluid level. I have read a post in another forum about incorrect fluid levels from the factory so it cannot be totally discounted. Alternatively, there are sensors on the transmission which monitor line pressure and this can impact upon timing of gear changes.

Thanks Ashley. I'm praying that it can be easily fixed but can't help being disappointed though.

Had my car checked and they ran all the diagnostics necessary. The fluid in the transmission was ok. News from Toyota is that the new transmissions can hesitate sometimes while learning your driving style. All of the results of the diagnostics are being sent to Toyota for review. Can't complain about the service and hope things resolve ok.
