2013 Toyota HIGHLANDER Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1246747
Internal NHTSA #	10810862
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2013
File date	16/12/15
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Periodically hesitates when accelerating - doesn't move, doesn't accelerate - nothing - almost like car not running. Does it from stopped position or while moving. Happened twice yesterday, after being stopped at red light and when turning across lane of traffic (city street). Has done it when passing on interstate - never know when it will happen. It's scary and by the time it kicks in, traffic is fast approaching. Worry that one day it will not engage and i will get hit. Doesn't matter if hot or cold, wet or dry, driving short time or long time. Definitely an accident (and death) waiting to happen. Dealership said they have not heard complaint before and can't fix it unless code appears. Find that hard to believe since owner's wife drove it. Sent complaint to toyota with copies of similar complaints found posted online. Wonder if it is related to transmission because i can sometimes feel brief changes in rpm (outside of hesitation issue). Please help!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
