Description of the problem	I stated to the dealership on june24,2013 that the car feels like it runaway when i brake and hit a pothole in the road. They road tested my car and couldn't duplicate any abnormal issues with the braking. They visually inspected the brakes and they found nothing. There have been incidents where i brake and hit a pothole and jut forward either almost passing a red light or almost hitting a car in front of me. It is a very scary situation. I would have done this complaint sooner,but i was not aware of this website. I just happen to search to see if anyone else has the same issue with their 2012 prius v. This scary dangerous situation still continues till this day.
