Description of the problem	Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota highlander hybrid. When applying pressure to the brake pedal, the engine would occasionally rev making braking more forceful.

Updated 02/1710 bf updated 02/19/10 updated 03/02/10 the consumer believed the problem was engine idle, not accelerating or braking. Updated 03/22/10.jb the consumer stated the problem he experienced was not due to a stuck accelerator, because the accelerator pedal also runs the hybrid motor.
