Description of the problem	We have a 2007 toyota highlander hybrid that is exhibiting the same braking problems that are being reported with the prius. When pressing the brakes the car begins to slow then it feels that the brakes momentarily release, causing the car to lurch forward, before they re-engage and finish stopping the car. I haven't noticed if it happens more over bumps but it does happen on a fairly regular basis. We have spoken with the toyota dealership about this multiple times and each time have been told that it is working how it should and the pausing in braking is caused by the engine switching over to electric. This cannot be the problem as the majority of the time when this has happened the engine has remained on during the problem. I would like to get the current investigation extended to encompass all hybrid models and not just the prius. The date entered below is the approximate date of the last time i noticed this, however it has happened relatively regularly since we have owned the vehicle.
