| Description of the problem | My 2006 highlander hybrid brakes do not grab immediately when i am driving forward and going over a pot hole or train tracks while braking to reduce my speed. This occurs any time i am in that situation. It is even more noticeable when turning and braking while going over a pot hole or train tracks. I have asked the dealer to check this out 2-3 times. They don't seem to test drive it, just test the brakes and say they are okay. |
