Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Our sequoia has started 'lunging' forward upon incidents of heavy braking; for instance, when we brake hard and come to a complete stop, when the pressure is relieved from the brake pedal, the vehicle lunges forward hard- it puts our heads into the headrests and feels like we have been hit from behind; this is both a safety issue and a liability issue as this can cause an accident when braking hard; it's not a throttle issue or a brake issue, but feels more so like the powertrain is slipping or jumping back into gear very hard. Our sequoia has approximately 65-66,000 miles; i have also contacted toyota regarding this problem and have not yet received a response. As i review the internet, other sequoia owners have had this problem as well.
