2004 Toyota Highlander transmission problems

Car hesitates and suddenly surges forward. The is the 2nd time this has occurred in the past 3 months. The first time was near my garage and fortunately the car only traveled several feet forward before hitting the corner of the garage and coming to a stop. Last sunday, I was leaving a parking lot. I was turning left when the car hesitated and suddenly surged forward at a rapid speed.

Power steering and brakes failed while driving the 2004 toyota highlander. I have previously filed a complaint here and with toyota about the car cutting out between 20 and 30 MPH which is dangerous in traffic. The hesitation is more prevalent now with 10,000 miles on the vehicle even though at 700 miles it was infuriating not knowing if you were safe trying to merge into traffic or make a left turn. I don't understand how this company can sell unsafe cars and be allowed to cheat the people who paid for them.
