Transmission Jerking on Automatic Mode SolvedSolved

2023 Toyota Highlander SUV /2.4 L 4-cylinder/ XSE Trim 15800 miles
One of the things that I don't like about this vehicle is that the transmission changes gears abruptly when you want to pass someone on the highway; it would go from 8th gear down to 4th gear when you do a sudden acceleration. The solution is to either change your drive mode on the highway from automatic to manual and keep it on 8th gear on cruise but when you need to pass or in constant turns at high speeds, keep it in the 7th or even the 6th gear to prevent jerking.

Just drive with ease on the accelerator or keep it in manual drive during high cruising
