Description of the problem	Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid [xxx] sometimes surges forward before stopping at speeds between 20-35 mph. I reported the problem to my local dealer, superior toyota, erie, pa on 1/11/07 (mileage 10,072). They said i was experiencing the change from electronic to hydraulic brakes. On 11/07/07 i complained again (mileage 24,335). This time they updated the ecu logic per tsb eg030-07. On 3/25/08 they said there simply was no problem. In summer 2008, palmiero toyota in meadville, pa told me the sensation was caused by the "fly by wire system", and it was not a problem. When i heard about the prius braking problem, i began worrying again. I called superior toyota on 2/23/10. They told me my car was not part of the recall, and there was nothing they could do for me. Any vehicle that surges forward rather than slowing when the brakes are applied is a safety issue. I am sending a letter of complaint to toyota motor sales usa.
