 Description of the problem2017 highlander limited. 11,800 miles. Over the last 30 days the vehicle has had 3 similar events of vehicle hesitation or stumbling from a full stop, when applying full accelerator pedal travel. The vehicle seems to accelerate normally for a second or two, then just seems to hang at 5-10 mph. Pumping the accelerator pedal quickly full up, full down may have fixed the problem, i'm not really sure, but that is what i did. The vehicle operates normally after that. In the last and most frightening episode, i was at a stop,on a side street waiting to turn onto a frontage road where typical speeds are 60 mph. I pressed the accelerator pedal full down to the floor and turned onto the frontage road. The vehicle seemed to accelerate normally for 1-2 seconds, then as before, just stayed at 5-10 mph with a car coming upon my rear at 60 mph. Fortunately for me he was able to change lanes and avoid running into me. I pumped the accelerator pedal as described. The vehicle than responded normally. I don't remember if the vehicle was in power or economy mode. I typically put it into power mode before entering the highway (which i was about to do on the far side of the frontage road) if i remember. As you may imagine this last episode left me quite disturbed. I always use regular grade gasoline from top name gas stations. These events happened with different tanks of gas from different stations. I took the vehicle to the dealership. They were not able to read any error codes from the computer, and were unable to repeat the problem in a test drive. They have escalated the case to the toyota engineering team.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
