I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander hybrid. Ever since it was new, it has inconsistent braking at slow speeds, like 20 mph and slower. When braking at slow speeds, if I hit even a small bump or pothole, the brakes momentarily release, and then will re-apply but will require much greater pedal pressure to get the same braking force. I had the dealer look at it but said nothing was wrong.

Toyota Highlander hybrid 2008... brakes feel like they are not catching, especially if going over a bump. Happens frequently since first got the car new, one year ago. No accident.
