Description of the problem	Ever since i purchased my highlander, new, i infrequently experience an unexpected surge in acceleration while beginning to accelerate from a stop, or after slowing to turn a corner. This has happened several times while turning a corner. I have brought this up to two different toyota dealerships, in the past, and was told that their electronic transmission was their biggest complaint, but there was nothing they could do about it. While describing the problem to a service rep at a dealership, a gentleman, also waiting for service, indicated that he had the same problem with his newer model rav 4. This may have happened fewer than two dozen times since i purchased the highlander. Has this problem been brought to your attention, or do you know if toyota has ever developed a "fix" for this?
