Description of the problem	Our 2008 toyota highlander has had the same intermittent braking problem since we purchased it in 2008. When we brake for the first second or so of depressing the brake pedal the brakes will either not respond or there will be a slight surge in acceleration. After further depression of the brake pedal, the brakes will engage, but the initial engagement is not smooth. It feels like someone that has braked their vehicle too rapidly. This issue comes and goes. When we take it to the dealer, they say they cannot recreate the issue and say there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
