What owners wrote
I own a 2007 toyota highlander hybrid. The brakes momentarily do not engage (essentially skip) when I apply them while going over a bump or a pothole. I have noticed this for a long time, however considered it a 'quirk' until I was in an accident which would have been avoided if the issue had not existed.
