Description of the problem	I have a 2005 toyota highlander limited w/v6 engine. When i accelerate at low speeds, then take my foot off the gas and then try to accelerate again, there is a prolonged hesitation before the vehicle starts to accelerate. The same problem exists when you make a turn and then try to accelerate again. The other day i was trying to pull out onto a well traveled road. I moved out into the first lane and then took my foot off the gas to check to make sure the next lane was clear. I saw there were cars coming around the curve towards me in both lanes. I hit the gas and the car hesitated. Then finally it started to move. I barely missed being broadsided. I've been driving for over thirty years and have driven a number of different vehicles. I have never experienced this problem and am very concerned for my family's safety. I have contacted the dealer and toyota and they say this is normal operation. As far as i'm concerned this is anything but normal and needs to be addressed. *nm
