Description of the problem	I own a 2006 toyota highlander highbrid, which i purchased new. I have not had a runaway situation, but have experienced power surges while braking and only experienced these during the braking phase. The approximate speeds during these braking events were between 20-45 mph. The surging lasts for approximately 2-3 seconds, with the vehicle lunging forward while my right foot being on the brake. I discussed the issue with hecker toyota and service advisor . I thought there was a problem with the cvt transmission and service advisor test drove the vehicle with no problems detected. Service advisor also stated there were no toyota service bulletins for any issues like this. I have encountered this situation approximately 10-11 times since new. The problem does not seem to be temperature related. I don't recall any surges when cold (below 20f or colder) because mn roads usually have some icy or slippery conditions and i would remember this situation.
