Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We own a 2006 highlander which we purchased new. It has 18,000 miles on it. When going down our driveway (185 feet at 35 degree slope) when the brakes are activated to stop before entering a cross street, on occasion there is little to no braking. It becomes necessary to quickly pump the brake to accomplish braking. This happens intermittently. Discussions with the toyota dealer resulted in no resolution. The explanation was that the vehicle's collision avoidance system or abs was sensing the slope as a deceleration and was reacting accordingly. They said there were no reported problems (recalls) pertaining to this issue and we should just continue to be ready to pump the brake or pump them before we start down the driveway.
