Hello, I would like to file a safety complaint on my 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid, I had this car for the past four months and I experienced sudden acceleration, it happens 3- 4 times a week, or may be even more since I share the car with my husband I am not sure how often he gets it. The last time the sudden acceleration happened is today, luckily we were not driving close to another car. It feels like as if some one pushed the car from behind. Thanks for considering this issue seriously and this is not a panic request after the recall, it is a real and serious issue.

Sudden acceleration of a 2006 Toyota Highlander while in reverse resulting in death. Updated 04/22/10 updated 07/12/10.

On bumpy roads or ditches, my 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid vehicle does not brake or the brake slips. It feels like it suddenly accelerates with braking becoming ineffective.

2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid sometimes surges forward on braking. Seems unpredictable as to when it might happen. Both my wife & myself have experienced this on several occasions. I wonder if it is related to the other sudden acceleration recall of other model years. I see the 2007 to 2010 camry is part of the recall. My understanding is that the Highlander shares a lot of parts with that model.
