| Description of the problem | My 2004 toyota highlander hesitates for a couple of seconds when i accelerate from about 40 to 50 mph such as getting onto a freeway. I have never experienced this in any other vehicle. I find this hesitation to be very disconcerting and makes me worry about merging into traffic. *jb |
