Then maybe 50 feet from the light it turns green, I pushed on the gas and nothing, I pushed harder and nothing I let off the gas and pushed again and nothing. At this time the cars beside me and in front of me were two car lenghts ahead of me and the cars behind me were in my backseat. It felt like it was out of gas, finally after lifting off the pedal and pressing it again we were off. This was no minor issue with cars all around me I could have got bumped in the rear.
I'll be calling Toyota Monday for an appointment. This is now becoming a potential for an accident should I pull out infront of someone and need the quick response.

This seems like something else, way more serious than the little hesitation the rest of us experience around 16-1800 RPMs. For us, tap on the gas just revs it a little and then it slips into gear and shoots off. It's not even that noticeable unless you know what the car is supposed to be doing. Yours seems like you really hit the gas and got NO throttle input, that could be some other issue.
