I purchased a 2004 Toyota Highlander in March. After a few weeks of driving I noticed that while braking at a light, sometimes the brake and the steering wheel would vibrate. When the dealer looked at my car he acknowledged the problem and said it was a "power surge" I don't understand what that means and why they didn't fix it, but the car still does it 3 months later. Also I noticed that the transmission hesitates as if it is about to stall when I try to accelerate to merge into traffic onto a highway. I haven't brought the car in for service the last issue but I expect the same writeoff answer that they gave me for the first problem.

Toyota Highlander: transmission terribly slow to respond. Very dangerous. Takes at least a full second to respond -- either transmission or throttle is defective. Toyota will not do anything about this problem. This is very serious. The companies attitude "if we don't admit there is a problem, there is no problem. ".

I bought my 2001 Toyota Highlander in August 2001. . . . . . . . . . At 15 months/50,000 miles my transmission started leaking and when it started slipping Toyota rapidly replaced my transmission. A leak was determined within weeks of the replacement and the torque converter seal (tcs) had to be replaced. Upon replacing the tcs the drive shaft was found to be damaged and had to be replaced. Has the Highlander required transmission replacements?.
