2001 Toyota RAV4 engine problems

I am experiencing a 5 to 10 second dead spot in the acceleration of my new rav4 several times a week. Based on internet web page forum postings, I have found other new rav4 owners that have the same problem. I have been told by the dealer that sluggish accleration is the result of a new emmisions control computer. This is beyond sluggish, the car barely moves. Pulling into traffic, accross streets and intersections, I am at risk and never know if the car is going to move or not.

I have a 2001 toyota rav4 [xxx] the engine type is a 1azfe. I recently learned about a toyota oil gel problem with engine type 5s-fe. The motor may be different, but my story is the same. This is a work vehicle that was maintained. In sept 2006 I called toyota to complain about the $2800 repair due to what they had called "oil gel". The reference number for this call is [xxx]. At the time I was unaware of the law suit in process for some toyota engines due to this exact thing!
