| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2004 toyota highlander in march. after a few weeks of driving i noticed that while braking at a light, sometimes the brake and the steering wheel would vibrate. when the dealer looked at my car he acknowledged the problem and said it was a "power surge" i don't understand what that means and why they didn't fix it, but the car still does it 3 months later. also i noticed that the transmission hesitates as if it is about to stall when i try to accelerate to merge into traffic onto a highway. i haven't brought the car in for service re: the last issue but i expect the same writeoff answer that they gave me for the first problem. |
