Description of the problem	I own a 2008 toyota highlander hybrid. Sometimes when i apply the brakes, the car feels as though it is actually accelerating and not decelerating. This "gap" in decelerating does not last a long time, but is disconcerting and my normal reaction is to hit the brakes harder. My daughter has also experienced this. The toyota dealer has denied that there is any problem with the brakes. This has occurred regularly since i purchased the car in april 2008.
