Description of the problem	I own a 2005 toyota highlander v6. I'm experiencing a pause or hesitation shifting into low at very low speeds (2 to 4 mph). The hesitation causes the vehicle to lunge because the gas peddle is depressed before the low gear engages. I feel it is an unsafe design because in slow traffic or near pedestrians i need to keep my left foot on the brake to prevent the car from lunging. Toyota has informed me that the vehicle is "operating as designed". *nm
