| Description of the problem | Hi, this is an issue with toyota highlander hybrid braking, the braking system doesn't work properly and and vehicle moves forward and this is intermittent. It been recurring for some time and the dealership(toyota of hackensack) won't acknowledge the issue ad are dismissive to downright disrespectful . When you brake st times the vehicle continues forward like the brakes are not holding or no brakes being applied. As you can see from the links below its not an isolated issue. Http://www.
