Description of the problem	Please do not limit your brake investigation to new priuses. We have a 2006 toyota highlander hybrid that has extra brake fading when braking on bumpy surfaces. One particular street is very ruff at the bottom of a hill where we brake to make a right turn, and on this street the brakes always feel like they are "letting go" but if you keep pressing the pedal the vehicle does slow down. We have never had an accident due to this behavior, we have just grown accustomed to this quirk.
