Description of the problem	I have a 2008 toyota highlander hybrid. Ever since it was new, it has inconsistent braking at slow speeds, around 25 mph and slower. When braking at slow speeds, hitting a small bump or pothole will shut down the regen brakes, the brakes momentarily release, and then will reapply with the hydraulic brakes activated, but will require much greater pedal pressure to get the same braking force.
