Description of the problem	We purchased a new 2006 highlander hybrid in june of 2006. The problem we have encountered is when the car is slowing down when braked and the rear end gets bounced by rough pavement. The brakes will fade and the stopping takes a few feet longer than expected. We took the car back to the dealer "kerry toyota", and were told that they did not find any problems. We will both say that the panic "heavy brake pedal" braking mode on this vehicle is amazing and works quite well. We love this car and have adjusted to it; but with anticipated longer stops on rough roads, or potholes! We like the car so well that we recently purchased the 2010 prius. After the 1st servicing of the prius, we did notice a high pitched squeal in the rear brakes. We are anxiously awaiting solutions to the toyota braking problems that have been reported by their customers. *tw
