Description of the problem	The brakes on our toyota highlander hybrid randomly get mushy (slip) and don't engage for a second, then will engage. This creates a dangerous situation as the vehicle will not stop as intended and when needed. Also, the vehicle at other times will surge when the brakes have been applied and you attempting to come to a stop. This has been happening for quite some time. These problems have been well-documented at the following site. We are experiencing the exact same issues as noted by others with our vehicle. Http://forums. Edmunds.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
