Description of the problem	I have a 2006 toyota highlander hybrid that i purchased on april 2010 with a little over 40k miles. I noticed at low speeds and when going over bumpstrain tracks a slip in the braking of the suv for 1 or 2 second or less. This issue is very easy to reproduce.. Just drive it over a bumpy road or train tracks and this braking issue will occur. I've read online this issue had something to do with the regenerative brakes and hydraulic braking systems and the transfer between the two at low speeds. If this is the case i feel that this is a manufacture defect and a safety issue. If i need to stop really fast on a bumpy road and i have a 1 or 2 second delay in stopping i could end up in an accident.
