Sluggish throttle response in 2006 4 cyl Rav4. Since we owned our new 2006 Rav4 we have notice a very sluggish throttle response when stepping on the gas to accelerate either from a stop or when we try to increase speeds. The delay can be up to a couple seconds before the engine revs up and accelerates. This appears to be a dangerous issue when pulling out into traffic and may cause us getting hit because the car cannot get out of its own way. I had thought it may have been a carburetor thing or clogged filter but there are many message boards online where similar complaints are being expressed. This appears to be an issue either with this engine and/or this model. I hope your agency would look into it.
