| Description of the problem | Hello, i would like to file a safety complaint on my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid, i had this car for the past four months and i experienced sudden acceleration, it happens 3- 4 times a week, or may be even more since i share the car with my husband i am not sure how often he gets it. The last time the sudden acceleration happened is today, luckily we were not driving close to another car. It feels like as if some one pushed the car from behind. Thanks for considering this issue seriously and this is not a panic request after the recall, it is a real and serious issue. |
