i totally agree with you ,one of my friends has this car and he had the same issues , i didn't believe him and he invited me to drive the car myself , i was surprised to see such transmission problem , we asked TOYOTA egypt about this and they said the same , they said that the transmission on this car is not totally automatic, it's a kind of manual transmission but with automatic clutch ! , that means that it's not an fully automatic trasmission like any other car , and this typr of transmission should give you the power of manual and the ease of automatic, but it actualy doesn't , the motor stalls when you are shifting , that means if you are taking a turn on an average speed , and you want to accelerate after that , the car might slow down other than accelerate ,which might confuse the car behine you thinking that you hit the breaks , this could cause accidents of course !
some people say that if you switch on the sports mode the problem can be solved partially , but i'm not sure of that and of course you can't put sports mode on all the time because that will consume more benzine
finally if you switch the manual mode , the manual mode is ok , but what's the point from driving an automatic car in manual mode all the time ! you should by a manual car instead !!
