Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a new 2004 toyota highlander on 3/26/2004 and after about 2 months started noticing a problem with hesitation when accelerating from a stop or when passing. the car feels like it dies for 1 to 2 seconds and then lurches forward. this is very dangerous when making a left hand turn at a light with oncoming cars from the opposite direction. this also causes problems when trying to merge with highway traffic or when passing. this occures every day and when it was reported to toyota service they stated it was a known issue with no fix or technical bulletin. *ak
