Description of the problem	I own a 2004 toyota highlander limited v6 awd. The car has extremely dangerious performance characteristics which will be the cause of many accidents. There is an unexpected and varying degree of lag in acceleration when trying to acclerate to merge on highways or to make turns across oncoming traffic. This is a severe and dangerous problem which will lead to loss of life. The dealer says it is "just a characteristic of the car" and nothing can be done. This kind of "characteristic" is too dangerous to just accept that nothing can be done. This is an unacceptable and dangerous problem!*ak
