| Description of the problem | Transmission seems to shift at random times. At a stop it will not engage immediately and the highlander will coast to speed, at other times i touch the accelerator and the car launch off like a race car. When coasting it seems to shift at random times and some times speed up when i want to slow down by hitting brakes. This seems to risk a collision. |
