| Description of the problem | Since i leased by highlander i have noticed that the car shifts very hard, sometimes sputtering between 5-10mph and then accelerating. Dealer reflashed the computer based on technical bulletin tsb-0194-17. They have now had the car for 3 days and have replicated the issue and i am awaiting guidance. The vehicle has 13,000 miles on it, there should not be major transmission issues. My complaint doesn't seem isolated. |
