Here's the issue, and I'd appreciate any feedback:
Usually happens after the car's warmed up (2003 with side bags & Nav system)... I'll get to an intersection, and after being at a full stop for a couple of seconds, I'll feel the gas engine and transmission pulse lightly and erratically for a few seconds... up to about 7 seconds... and then stop. Sometimes it'll start up again, sometimes not.
It's one of those frustrating occurrences that you're SURE that if and when you took it to the dealership, you wouldn't be able to reproduce.
You might ask, "Whaddayamean 'pulse lightly?'" It's light enough that a passenger wouldn't feel it... it's almost felt through the brake pedal. A pulsing that's akin to the pulsing of ABS brakes when the system is engaged... but again, VERY lightly.
Common? Anyone else notice anything like this? You think it will be serious enough that Toyota will eventually declare it a total loss... clearing the way for a new 2004? :lol:
Any thoughts?
