| Description of the problem | My 2006 toyota highlander hybrid lurches forward when you first apply the brakes at about 20-25 mph or less, giving the sensation of losing braking power. The brakes also squeak when pedal applied and have since i purchased the car. Now has 65,000 miles. Prius aside, the problem can be dangerous and dealer says simply knows nothing about the problem and no one else complains. Just look at your complaints as well as hundreds all over the internet. Let's try to fix the problem before there is a death which gets someone's attention at your office. Thank you. Below date is irrelevant. Happens all the time and has for years. |
