Description of the problem	During constant braking of my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid (such as when approaching a red light), there is sometimes a momentary, but noticeable failure of the brakes (which causes slight acceleration), before the condition resolves itself on its own. At the moment of failure, it feels as if the brakes are released for a split second and then the condition self-corrects before there is time to react. I have noticed this perhaps 30 times in the nearly three years that i have driven the vehicle. My wife has also noticed this condition. About a year ago i received a service letter from toyota which, i thought, was intended to address this issue. I took the car to the deal to have it serviced, but the problem persists.
