Transmission Issues

Just purchased the 2018 Highlander Limited Platinum vehicle about two months ago, I have about 3500 miles on the vehicle. The problem is with the transmission, changes gears all the time. Touch the gas and the transmission shifts to a lower gear and then back to higher gear. This is almost constant while driving on the interstate. Very annoying, may trade it for another brand of vehicle and take the loss. Not happy with this vehicle.

Love my new Highlander

Very smooth ride, comfortable, and attractive looking vehicle. Was in the market for a minivan, but this has plenty of room for the kids. I can't say enough about the sleekness of this vehicle.

My Second Highlander

I chose this car because I had a 2013 that had zero problems. It rode like a dream and it wasn't perfect but the benefits of the ride, comfort and reliability outweighed the negatives. This is why I continued with Toyota. I feel that Toyota is a little slow at the 'latest-and-the-greatest' technology but that is a plus in my opinion as I value 'tried-and-true'.
