Description of the problem	I have a 2007 toyota highlander hybrid. When coming to a stop from low speeds, the car often "surges" and requires additional braking in order to make it stop. Since this is the first hybrid i have owned, i thought it just had something to do with the electric/gas engine switchover. With all of the current news, i'm beginning to wonder if there is a design flaw. I have had the car since it was new and it has had this issue since inception. I have always been able to stop eventually, so it hasn't caused me any major problems. However, it is an very odd feeling. Other individuals driving my vehicle have experienced the same thing. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any consistent pattern to when this occurs so i have never taken it to the dealer for this issue.
