Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2004 toyota highlander limited developed a hesitation after around 10,000 miles. the hesitation is followed by a head-jerking surge. this situation is very hazardous when attempting to make a right or left-hand turn, or fast acceleration merge, in high traffic situations. i am very concerned about my 15-yr-old twins who are learning to drive in this vehicle. i don't understand why this issue has not been addressed by the nhtsa considering the very large number of complaints about this issue, here and on the web. are you waiting for a death? my dealer says there is nothing they can do. *nm
