Hesitation when accelerating. Complaint filed with dealer on 8/10/05. I was advised that this is normal. This is a constant condition and not safe. *nm

Automatic Transmission
This problem has been happening from the first month i bought my 2005 toyota highlander new at the dealership. Transmission shift erratically. Jolting shifts all the time; especially when accelerating. Lags in downshifting, hesitation in shifting. I've taken it to the toyota dealership many times. They have said it is learning my driving habits. One dealership told me to take my foot off the gas and depress it again…
