| Description of the problem | We own an 2006 toyota highlander hybrid and we have had times where the breaks appear to cut out for a second when slowing the car to turn a corner. The car will surge ahead while the break is being used during the turn which can be dangerous if you are not expecting it. We have learnt to expect it and take extra caution now when making turns. This has been happening since we bought the car and it happens a few times each week. *cn |
