Description of the problem	I purchased a 2006 highlander hybrid fwd in feb 2018 from hercules police department. Fairly often when i apply the brakes at lower speeds 20-30mph , the suv surges forward like the brakes have released for a moment and then have reapplied. It is dangerous and very disconcerting in close traffic or when going around a corner or circle. Although i have managed not to have a collision, i have come pretty close when driving with a reasonable distance from the car in front. I have described it to toyota, which they denies there is any problem since there is no recall was done. I have had it diagnosed without any problem with the brakes being identified. This is a problem that is noted by many people on the internet who describe the exact problem with my model as well as other hybrids manufactured by toyota. It is a defect that could cause a serious accident if emergency braking is necessary, which at some point we all need to do to be safe on the road. Please address this with toyota.
