Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2004 toyota highlander makes a terrible humming / moaning sound on acceleration that resonates within the vehicles and disturbs the driver. the problem typically occurs during speeding up from 0 mph. it is terribly frustrating that a brand new car makes such a annoying sound. it is also hesitates a lot during 20-40 mph speed range. the vehicle does not respond as it supposed to on acceleration and that too specially while driving within the city. on cantacting the dealer and toyota's national customer service thay said it is designed to be like that and the hesitation is a by-product of computer controlled automatic transmission. currently there is no fix for this. am terribly frustrated now and promise to never buy any vehicle from toyota in future. i would also make sure that my friends and relatives does not go near a toyota dealer. i am desperate in getting rid of this vehicle. *ak
