| Description of the problem | Braking problem - 2006 toyota highlander hybrid when applying brakes, electrical regeneration begins. But, if you go over a bump the regeneration drops out. This results in an estimated (by me) 25% reduction in braking power. The driver must then apply additional brake pressure to regain stopping power. This occurs constantly and has been reported numerous times to my dealer. Was told that this is the way it was designed to work. |
