| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota highlander limited v6 4wd. I was merging on a highway entrance ramp slowing down to time the traffic when i saw a gap to merge. I pressed on the gas and the highlander hesitated and would not accelerate. I keep pumping on the gas and the hl would not accelerate, luckly for me the truck pulling a trailer that i was merging infront of moved to the next lane in time or he would have plowed me into a concrete bridge abutment. *ak |
