Description of the problem	My 2005 toyota highlander, v6 model, always on applying the brakes the first time after starting in the morning is like the abs system is engaged, it takes longer to stop than it will on the succeeding braking applications. This is very dangerous, especially to someone who may not be prepared for this or is not the usual driver. At first i thought this was just hydraulics but now i think it is tied to the abs system, after reading of the problem with acceleration.
