When braking while approaching stop sign having slowed to ~10 mph, i encountered a bumpy section of road. The brakes feel like they released for ~1 sec causing the vehicle to lurch forward before they (brakes) kicked in again. This has happened 5-10 times since i bought the car used from the toyota dealer in 4/2013. My complaint mirrors those that resulted in the recall below but my toyota dealer says, based on my…

While applying the brakes to stop at an intersection one of the front tires was over a manhole cover and the car skidded over it like i was braking on a patch of ice. As soon as i was past the cover the brakes engaged and stopped the car. I noticed this occurring every time i would brake on an uneven surface where there was space between one of the front tires and pavement. I had bought the same make, model and year…

I am an owner of a 2010 toyota prius that was recalled for brake problems. The automobile jolts forward for a split second when the brakes are applied and the automobile also passes over a bump or pothole. I took the automobile back to the dealer pursuant to the recall to be fixed. The dealer did not fix the problem. The problem remains even after the recall and supposed remedy. I have read that others have the same…

Same as everyone else: when braking while turning over uneven pavement, brakes seem to accelerate or loosen temporarily. So when is nhtsa going to do something about this? Or are they waiting for a "significant" number of deaths first? *tr

I have a 2010 toyota prius and had it taken back to the dealership for the recent recall. However, i am still experiencing the same problems as before with the car. Whenever i have gone over a bump the car feels like it "jumps" forward and loses a little control.

Re: 2010 toyota prius iv; on february 27, 2010, i visited the toyota santa monica service department to have the abs software update installed. Since purchasing my vehicle in september 2009, up until the date of the software update, i experienced the inconsistent feel of the brakes usually once per week. However, since the software update, in the first week alone, the inconsistent feel occurred seven times, with the…

My vehicle surged forward while i applied the brake and was traveling over a small patch of rough surface. It felt like the gas pedal had been stomped, but i was only using the brakes. *tr

While driving eastbound on moorpark street, approaching dixie canyon avenue, i braked in preparation to make a right hand turn, and the brakes released when i hit a small pot hole. The brakes re-engaged approximately 1-2 seconds later. *cn

On several occasions my 2010 prius has failed to stop immediately when i have applied the brake at slow speeds. This has occurred while on ice surfaces as well as clear surfaces. There is just a fraction of a second delay before the brakes take hold. Fortunately there has not yet been an accident but if i were to have had less space between me and the car ahead, there would have been a crash. *cn

I was driving down a hill that has a slightly uneven surface and was a bit icy and when applying the brake in my prius, my car sped up slightly when it hit the uneven surface and seemingly jumped faster before the brakes kicked in and brought my car to a stop. This has happened twice on different roads, both of the road surfaces being slightly uneven. Nothing has been done to correct this problem, when i called…

When i brake while going over a speed bump, the car lunges forward. Please note: i really am not sure of the date. I bought the car in july of 2009. This has happened to me a few times and it was such a bizarre combination (accelerating while braking) that i really didn't clue in to it as a car issue right away. When i saw press on it and discovered that it was an actual issue and not a "fluke" i called the service…

I have been having braking failure since the first week i brought the car home. I complained about it to toyota ardmore, where i had bought the car, and asked them to check it out. Specifically, i found it difficult to brake on wet surfaces after rain. Because i was bringing the car in the first week i took possession for another issue, i was told this would be looked into. Afterward, i was told there was no…

Faulty brakes on 2010 prius. I noticed within a week or so after purchase in november, 2009 that when going over a bump or pothole in the road and i used the brake pedal, there was a delay wherein the car seemed to accelerate over the problem in the road, nearly leading me to collision with another vehicle or pedestrian. Since november it's been a constant, frightening problem. *tw
