Description of the problem	2006 highlander hybrid, 34,000 miles bought used. Fairly often when i apply the brakes at lower speeds, the suv surges forward like the brakes have released for a moment and then have reapplied. It is dangerous. I took the car to lee's toyota (on 03/03/12) for recall not related to this. They told me there was some air in the braking system, the mechanic fixed. And i will not be charged for. The rotors needed to be cut and pads changed. When i got home i took the wheels off and the rotors and pads are fine. The dealer did not generate the ticket number for the problem. I did not make anything of it because they did not charge me. Just the other day while backing up the suv did just that and the bumper ended up on the stop sign pole. I did online research & now i know i'm not the only one with this problem. It's defiantly dangerous and it should be recalled.
