Consumer Description

I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA HYBRID HIGHLANDER.I HAVE EXPERIENCED A "LAG" BEFORE THE BRAKES KICK IN AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS ACCELERATING AS I AM BRAKING. IT IFEELS AS IF WHEN IT HAPPENS I AM HITTING THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. IT IS SOMEWHAT FRIGHTENING. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE PREIUS. IT FEELS LIKE A BRIEF SURGE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS TOYOTA IS NOT RECALLING THE HYBRID HIGHLANDER. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME TECHNOLOGY AND ISSUE THE PREIUS IS EXPERIENCING
