| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2005 toyota highlander limited w/v6 engine. when i accelerate at low speeds, then take my foot off the gas and then try to accelerate again, there is a prolonged hesitation before the vehicle starts to accelerate. the same problem exists when you make a turn and then try to accelerate again. the other day i was trying to pull out onto a well traveled road. i moved out into the first lane and then took my foot off the gas to check to make sure the next lane was clear. i saw there were cars coming around the curve towards me in both lanes. i hit the gas and the car hesitated. then finally it started to move. i barely missed being broadsided. i've been driving for over thirty years and have driven a number of different vehicles. i have never experienced this problem and am very concerned for my family's safety. i have contacted the dealer and toyota and they say this is normal operation. as far as i'm concerned this is anything but normal and needs to be addressed. *nm |
