Description of the problem	I purchased a 2004 toyota highlander in march. After a few weeks of driving i noticed that while braking at a light, sometimes the brake and the steering wheel would vibrate. When the dealer looked at my car he acknowledged the problem and said it was a "power surge" i don't understand what that means and why they didn't fix it, but the car still does it 3 months later. Also i noticed that the transmission hesitates as if it is about to stall when i try to accelerate to merge into traffic onto a highway. I haven't brought the car in for service re: the last issue but i expect the same writeoff answer that they gave me for the first problem.
