Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2005 toyota highlander v6. i'm experiencing a pause or hesitation shifting into low at very low speeds (2 to 4 mph). the hesitation causes the vehicle to lunge because the gas peddle is depressed before the low gear engages. i feel it is an unsafe design because in slow traffic or near pedestrians i need to keep my left foot on the brake to prevent the car from lunging. toyota has informed me that the vehicle is "operating as designed". *nm
