Description of the problem	I bought prius v in february 2012. I've noticed few times issues with brakes. While decelerating with my foot on the brake pedal to slow the car to a stop and if the car goes over a pothole or slight bump on the road then car accelerates forward before coming to a stop. This is safety hazard since it almost led to hitting the other car's rear bumper. Also, i've gotten into an accident in december 2013 where there was another brake issue. I stopped my car in the incline road by putting my foot on the brake pedal. Then, i changed the gear shift to rear and slowly took my foot off the brake pedal so that i can back into the street parking which was only about 4 to 5 feet away. Suddenly, car sped down the road going rear direction to the directly opposite street and hit two parked cars. I had put the foot down on the brake pedal when i noticed the car going rear fast but it would not stop the car from going down the road. I had no control over the car or the speed. This is major safety hazard since someone could have been seriously injured with losing control of the brake and acceleration. I've owned other toyota car (camry) before but never had this issue until this prius v. My car has been in body shop for over a month with repairs. I plan to take the car to the toyota dealer to check out this brake issue.
