Consumer Description

OCCASIONALLY, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND THEN WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN WHILE TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, THE ENGINE APPEARS TO STALL FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDS, THEN RESUMES NORMAL ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE DOES NOT QUIT OR DIE, IT JUST GOES BACK DOWN TO A LITTLE ABOVE IDLE SPEED, THEN SPEEDS BACK UP AGAIN AND RESUMES NORMAL ACCELERATION OPERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH MY WIFE AND ME ON MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS BEGINNING ABOUT 8,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. I ERRONEOUSLY POSTED THIS COMPLAINT EARLIER UNDER THE 2012 HIGHLANDER, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS A 2011. *TR
