Description of the problem	My wife owns a 2006 toyota highlander hybrid. Like the prius, this car will occasionally experience a momentary pause in its braking sequence as it switches from its regenerative braking system to its hydraulic one. How often does this happen? It is infrequent, occurring approximately once weekly or so. Nevertheless, it is noticeable. To date, we have not had an accident due to this glitch, but i am concerned that, eventually, it might. The pause is very short--a second or less.
