Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Our new 2004 toyota highlander has hesitation problem when driving around 10-30 miles per hour. this is a very serious safety issue since there are a lot of situations that even a second hesitation can lead to accident, such as making a quick left turn in a busy intersection to avoid on coming cars. here is how to reproduce the problem: drive the car over 25 miles per hour, then gradually slow it down to about 20 miles per hour. press down the gas paddle very briefly, regardless how hard the paddle is hit, the car will not response.*ak
