Tranmission problems: I have been experiencing transmission hesitations which I do not expect in any Toyota products; another word, there are hang ups between gears, Especially 1st to 2nd. This is extremely dangerous, Especially in a busy and crazy houston traffic because the car does not give the sufficient acceleration when one needs it. That 1 or 2 second hesitation could cause an accident. To confirm this existing problem, I test drove the RX 330, highlander and solara. It is even worse.
