Whenever the weather is colder like 35 degrees or lower I am having issues starting the vehicle. The dealer already changed the battery but it did not help. I had the vehicle by the dealer for 10 days but they couldn't figure it out. In this time I had to pay out of pocket for rental and other expenses. Yesterday it took me 45 minutes until I was able to start the vehicle. I spoke to Toyota and they are not very helpful.

Occasional throttle no response when trying to accelerate moderately from a stop, or from a very low speed (I. E. -coasting around a 90 degree turn with the engine at idle speed. ) I then push heavily on the accelerator pedal, and it revs up, downshifts, and races ahead. It is dangerous, in traffic. I have brought it to the dealer twice, and they cannot reproduce the problem. Two so called factory reps rode around with me the second time, with a computer connected. Diagnostics shows no error codes.
