2010 Tacoma crew cab with 10,000 miles, automatic transmission. When the vehicle is warm (driven) and stopped (at a light or stop sign), when the accelerator is pressed to begin driving again the transmission will not always engage immediately. There are times it takes two to three seconds for the transmission to catch and the truck to begin moving. You can hear the engine rev up but the truck will not move. Pressing harder on the accelerator to get the truck to move does nothing but rev the engine, and when the transmission does catch the vehicle can lurch forward rapidly accelerating. This situation can be very dangerous if you are not ready for it.
