I WAS IN THE DRIVE THRU QUEUE AT BURGER KING AND I HAD THE BRAKE HOLD ACTIVATED, WAITING FOR MY TURN. THE CAR JUST VIBRATED AND SHUT DOWN. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN IT NEVER STARTED. ON THE DASH IT SAID COOLANT TEMP HIGH, CHARGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, DRIVE START CONTROL MALFUNCTION,BRAKE OVERRIDE MALFUNCTION. I THOUGHT I NEEDED ANTIFREEZE SO I WALKED TO SUNOKO TO BUY ONE. TRIED TO PUT SOME IN BUT ANTIFREEZE WAS FULL SO I COULDN'T TOP UP. THE ANTIFREEZE IS IN THE TRUNK. I TRIED TO GET A JUMP THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT IT STILL DIDN'T START. I TOWED TO TOYOTA AND NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME THE COMPUTERS ARE NOT COMMUNICATING RIGHT WITH EACH OTHER. MY GAS SAYS 65535MI DISTANCE TO EMPTY. MY CAR IS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK NOW AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER CAR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE WARRANTY ON IT.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN (FROM A STOP SIGN) OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CAR HESITATED THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REV'D UP, AND SHOT FORWARD. I'M SURE THE NEIGHBORS THOUGHT I WAS HOT RODDING. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON A SEPARATE DAY WHEN I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS A PICKUP TRUCK COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, BUT HE WAS FAR ENOUGH AWAY, SO I GAVE IT SOME GAS TO START MY TURN. MY CAR HESITATED AND I THOUGHT THE PICKUP WAS GOING TO HIT ME, BUT THEN MY CAR REV'D UP AND LUNGED FORWARD AS PREVIOUSLY. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MAKING LEFT TURNS, BUT ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A 45 MPH LEVEL ROAD AND I GAVE IT GAS TO INCREASE MY SPEED TO 45 ---- THE SAME THING HAPPENED ---- HESITATION, REV'D UP, LUNGED FORWARD. IT STILL DOES IT, BUT I'M TRYING TO BE VERY CAREFUL DRIVING IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO BE THE NEXT TRAFFIC FATALITY, OR WORSE, CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO BE KILLED OR MAIMED. I ALSO TOLD THE SERVICE REP WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHECK IT. HE TOLD ME THEY HAD CHECKED IT AND IT'S OKAY. I LOOKED AT THE SERVICE REPORT BUT, I COULDN'T FIND WHERE THEY HAD CHECKED IT. I STARTED LOOKING FOR INFO VIA THE INTERNET ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND OTHER SITES THAT HAD PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. SO, THE NEXT REGULAR MAINTENANCE I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR, I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE REP AND TOLD HIM ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM OF HESITATION, ETC. I SAID IT SEEMS THAT IT MUST BE NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND THAT'S WHY THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS OKAY. HE AGREED THAT IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS CAR, BUT I HAVE NOTHING IN WRITING THAT HE SAID THAT OR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EVEN CHECKED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT HAPPENS IN ALL THREE DRIVING MODES. CHECK: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-M7_DS895703
