Description of the problem	Bought a new '04 toyota highlander may 3. Within a few weeks driving it became dangerous because of hesitation upon acceleration. It is unsafe to drive in heavy/fast traffic. The dealership said they could find no problem until i insisted repeatedly. Then they 'found the problem' but there is no fix. This is dangerous because it will eventually cause someone to be killed. Why isn't toyota responsible for fixing this problem on a $30,000 vehicle?? *jb
