We have had several instances of brake malfunction in our 2010 prius. When backing out of our garage, on 3 occasions, when my foot was just resting gently over the brake, it felt as though i was stomping on the brake. It did this 4-5 times where it lurched to a stop when i wasn't applying it but just resting my foot on it as i backed up. I had an incident where i was entering a car wash and when i went over a bump…

I bought a 2010 prius in october 2009. I brought the prius back to the dealer, stevenson toyota, for a problem that would occur when the vehicle brake was completely depressed and the traction control light would come on. I also mentioned that when i would hit a bump or drive on ice, it did not seem that the vehicle would stop properly and that when hitting a bump, the vehicle would seem to "lurch forward". The…

I purchased a 2010 toyota prius in mid-june. I am writing to report that i have also experienced the loss of brakes while traveling over uneven surfaces three separate times. It is quite unnerving when you are in mid-brake and it momentarily stops working. I am a very safe driver, keeping a good distance between my vehicle and the cars ahead of me; however, sometimes you do need to stop suddenly and i am concerned…

I purchased a 2010 prius in august 2009. It shows no evidence of an anti-lock braking system. I reported this to the taylor toyota of alexandria in october who told me that they had not heard of the problem and they did nothing. Additionally, the avid factory tires on the car are not effective on wet pavement; they skid. Again, i reported this to the dealer and again they told me they had not heard of a problem but…

On my 2010 prius iv which i took delivery of in august, 2009, every time i brake, going over a pothole or large bump, the car lurches forward even though i am stepping on the brake. A few times i almost hit the car ahead of me. This is an extremely dangerous situation, and could result in a crash or possibly hitting a pedestrian. I hope this situation can be resolved immediately, before fatalities result. I k now…

Approximately five times while driving my 2010 toyota prius i have experienced problems with stopping when one of my tires either is on a manhole cover or on uneven road(one tire in a pothole). When this occurs i am usually going approximately 30 mph. I apply the brake slowly to start to slow down for a stop sign. My right front tire rolls over a manhole cover and while my foot is still on the brake my car…

2010 toyota prius brake failure. Everytime while braking if there is a bump or on even a slight bit of ice on 1 wheel only, the brakes will release completely and go back to accelerating rather than braking. It happens when i exit the highway and there is a change in surfaces from tar to concrete. It happens very often and can happen anytime. This occurs at any speed from 10mph up and i have experienced it from…

I bought a 2010 toyota prius in august 2009. In addition to the braking problem i describe below, i also have an acceleration problem. I questioned my toyota dealership about the fact that when i am braking over metal (manhole cover, repair lids, etc.) the car is quickly pushed forward about 3 to 4 feet. Several other new owners said they had the same experience. The dealer said that when they checked with toyota,…
