Your transmission hesitates and then shifts harshly between gears 2 times to 3 times per month, especially at low speeds below 15 mph. When shifting down to 1st gear or up to 2nd gear, your car may pause for 1-2 seconds before suddenly lurching forward as if hit from behind, which could be dangerous in traffic situations like left turns or at traffic lights. The dealer found no error codes despite this being a known issue on earlier Land Cruiser models, and Toyota claims no reports for your year model.

NHTSA #: 11663153
