| Description of the problem | I've owned a 2005 toyota highlander since new, once in a while this condition would occur, now it is all the time. It just turned over 80k miles. I have not been notified of any recalls, not even toyota no. 60f. When you are coming to a stop,at normal speeds,normal braking pedal pressure, just before the vehicle stops, it launches forward with your foot pressure on the brake pedal. When you apply more pressure as if there was an emergency, it is worse. My wife and i have learned to compensate by coasting then stopping. I emailed toyota. Com about this twice, no answers. |
