Some Toyota Venza owners report experiencing jerking during gear changes, which may be attributed to air intake issues. These problems can arise from insufficient air intake due to blockages or a dirty air filter, disrupting the air-fuel ratio and causing jerking. Regularly checking and replacing the air filter is crucial for preventing air intake system issues and ensuring proper airflow. Ignoring these problems can lead to reduced engine performance and increased emissions. Additionally, maintaining a clear air intake system and a clean air filter is essential for smooth gear transitions and preventing jerking during acceleration. If jerking is suspected to be related to the air intake system, it is advisable for owners to inspect the air filter and address any obstructions or dirt affecting airflow.
