Description of the problem	My 2004 toyota highlander exhibits a significant hesitation at the start of rapid acceleration that i believe is a potential safety hazard. When the vehicle is moving at a slow speed and the accelerator is depressed to begin a rapid acceleration (passing a slower vehicle or merging into traffic), a significant hesitation is present before the vehicle begins to accelerate. This delayed response to the accelerator input can place the vehicle in dangerous situations where the vehicle cannot get out of the way of other traffic. I believe this behavior could result in a traffic accident and potential injury to people. *ak
