Description of the problem	I purchased a 2013 toyota highlander from cabe toyota, a toyota dealer in long beach, california, on march, 2013. I always use cabe toyota for the maintenance of this vehicle. I brought this vehicle to cabe toyota on july 5th, 2014 for 20,000 miles service and replaced the cabin filter as per their recommendation. I realized the acceleration of the vehicle were slower when entering the freeways after the service. The performance was even worse when the vehicle going uphill and the top speed stays on 40 mph even when the acceleration paddle was fully engage. When i was vacuumed the vehicle yesterday, sept 26th, 2014. I noticed some electric wires were unplugged, and one set of them was cut off completely. I am not sure this is the result of manufacture failure or maintenance problem. Therefore, i would like to obtain information for independent inspection center in my area from you, so that i can bring my car to have complete diagnoses. Thank you.
