Description of the problem	I have been experiencing a situation with my 2015 toyota highlander (vin# 5tdjkrfhxfs1[xxx]) that has become quite concerning. When i step on the gas pedal from a dead stop position, i have experienced an initial acceleration and then a hesitation followed immediately by a resumption of acceleration. This has happened at least seven times. At first i thought my foot was slipping off the accelerator pedal. After examination i realized this was not possible. The last time it happened (april 16, 2018) i was attempting to proceed from a stop light across 3 lanes of highway to the fourth lane. As i stepped on the gas the car accelerated forward and then hesitated. I purposely left my foot right where it was on the gas pedal and within one or two seconds it resumed and again accelerated forward. When this happens there is no sputtering or backfiring, just a total void of anything happening until it again resumes forward motion. I just had the car serviced on april 25, 2018 at my toyota dealer and mentioned the problem. They drove the vehicle and could not reproduce the problem. They also ran a diagnosis of the system and found no abnormalities. My question is, has this been reported by others as a possible problem with this make of vehicle or is this a one off and others are not experiencing or not aware of this quirk in the system.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
