When braking while approaching stop sign having slowed to ~10 mph, i encountered a bumpy section of road.

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
