Description of the problem	2006 toyota highlander hybrid the vehicle lurches forward whenever slow braking (gas pedal not pushed) ever since purchase in 2006, and still behaves this way now. We have contacted our dealer on at least three different occasion, and one additional time after the recall being issued. Each time, the dealer says that there is nothing wrong with the car. The dealers most resent response (02/02/2010) was that our car is not in the recalled list, and there is nothing wrong with our car. The dealer can check again but if they still finds nothing wrong, we have to pay for the check up. But we hear so many reports of identical experience to ours in toyota hybrid cars (prius, camry and highlander) that does not involve the gas pedal. The car lurches or accelerate when slow braking!!!
