Description of the problem	My 2006 toyota highlander hybrid's brakes appear to have the same problem that is attributed to design fault in the brakes of the prius model. I bought the car used, last june 2009. The problem is that the brakes momentarily "fail" when i hit a pot hole or drive over a bumpy road -- in other words if i start braking and hit a bump, the car lurches forward for a second before continuing to slow down. (this is not antilock braking engaging -- i know what that feels like.) i have not seen this problem reported with any toyota models other than the prius, but the descriptions i read/hear in the media are exactly what i have experienced in my car. I have had the car road tested by my mechanic -- but i could not produce or simulate the conditions that lead to the problem. But that was a couple of months ago. I experience the problem weekly, if not daily -- and it is alarming! In a panic stop on a bumpy road, results could be disastrous. Please advise those investigating prius brake problems that it may not just be a prius problem. Please advise me if there is other action i can take to notify investigators or toyota. Thanks *tw
