However, just today the braking problem, when hitting bumps in the road, seems to not have been fixed at all. Driving in the dc area, where there are a lot of potholes around, it is easy to test whether the brakes are fixed or not. While driving along the road today,…

Our 2010 prius sometimes lurches forward on hitting a bump or driving on rough terrain. This happens predictably at certain locations. Both my wife and i have observed this behavior, maybe a couple of times/week. Not certain whether it's momentary acceleration or loss of braking but we think it's loss of braking. We have not yet taken any corrective action. I read in the paper that toyota is planning a recall. *jb

This happened most recently today and could have caused an accident if i were closer to…
