2007 toyota prius braking issue. This issue is not limited to the 2010 prius models. I had similar braking issues on uneven or frozen terrain for 2 years with my 2007 model. I just assumed it was a quirk of the hybrid, and that it had to just be a "sense" of lost control, not that the situation was truly dangerous. Please urge them to look into this and issue a recall of all affected vehicles. *tr

Toyota prius 2007 - antilock brake failure hitting potholes, man hole covers, crossing train tracks, going the speed limit down hills, rain & snow are the worst. Every time car is taken in to dealer for servicing, we inform them of the brakes. They ensured us that nothing was wrong with them and there was nothing to worry about. We contacted our primary dealer who has done most of the services for the car, they…

I have owned my 2007 prius since july, 2007. On an erratic basis, as i am braking (often as i am going over a bumpy road), the car seems to surge forward. It is as if the engine starts running harder. The light that indicates poor traction also comes on - it is as if i am not making good contact with the road. I have had no accidents but it is terrifying for me and i am fearful when someone/family member drives my…

I've complained -- with no response or help -- to a toyota dealer about 2 concerns i have with my 2007 prius that i've always believed were manufacturer/design defects: 1) the brakes skip when i hit a pothole, especially the one i traverse every weekday turning into my worksite. 2) during hard acceleration early in a drive (the uphill left turn leaving my neighborhood), there is a hesitation for about a second or…

Traveling slow speed 25-35 apply brakes and hit a dip in the road or bump in the road and the car quickly lunges forward. I don't feel like i necessarily lose the brake but that the car just lunges forward. I thought i reported this to toyota soon after getting the car but i checked my records and i reported it twice last year after my husband confirmed that it happened to him. Toyota checked the brakes and said…

Driver was on a local road, accelerated and turned left to pull into a commercial parking lot, then applied brakes when the front tires left the road and made contact with the parking lot entrance (slight concrete curb between asphalt road and lot). The brake pedal depressed fully with little resistance, and neither the regenerative braking system nor the brake pads were activated. After approximately two seconds,…

I own a 2007 toyota prius and have experienced occasional momentary loss of braking (my foot firmly on the brake pedal) while driving over a bumpy surface. While braking over small pot holes, railroad tracks, rough patches, etc., the car seems to lunge forward apparently as the brakes release for a split second (approximately 1/4 to 1/2 second). The road conditions can be wet or dry. At the same time, my traction…
