| Description of the problem | When i accelerate from a very slow speed (almost stop) my 2005 toyota highlander will surge. I have experience this when try to pass or when slowed to take a turn but with not coming to a complete stop. The dealer has not been able to correct it. I get the feeling that they think it is normal or ok. *nm |
