| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 toyota highlander hybrid. Repeatedly since i purchased this vehicle, and as recently as today, i have experienced the exact same type of braking issues now being investigated with respect to the toyota prius. When braking on an uneven or wet surface, the car will jerk forward unexpectedly and i will feel as if the brakes are failing. I have complained to the dealer and to service and they deny the problem. |
