Description of the problem	I purchased a toyota hilander hybrid in march 2006. Since that year, i have been experiencing a problem with braking. When i brake (example at a traffic light or a stop sign) i notice that the car begins to slow down, but for a fraction of a second, the car appears to coast or continue to lunge forward and i get a feeling that the car is not under my control any more. It is a terrible feeling to experience when i am firmly and gradually depressing the brake, and i sense that the car is moving and that i would not be able to stop!!! It appears to happen more often in cold weather, and no, it is definitely not ice or wet road that is the cause. The road could be dry, and free of ice, and i experience it. Please read an msnbc article on prius braking problem and i can relate to the description in that article. I have got my car checked out at two dealers - one in mason ,oh and the other in brookfield, wi. Both dealers say they cannot reproduce the problem. I have filed a complaint with toyota in late 2006 or early 2007, but toyota denies any problem with the hybrid hilander suv braking system. Toyota and the dealers tell me that they have never ever heard of such a problem from any owner of a toyota hybrid car. If you visit http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F0d8058 you will see that there are several hundreds of hybrid customers (toyota and lexus) who are complaining about this very problem. This problem occurs occasionally, but it is distinct and a terrible one to experience. Please direct toyota to thoroughly investigate and resolve 2006 hilander hybrid braking problem. *tw
