Description of the problem	When driving on uneven ground, like pot holes, the brakes fail. Literally if you have your foot on brake when driving over a pot hole, you can feel the brakes release and the car won't stop. I've had similar issues on bumpy ground. The car has always had the problem since i purchased it, probably on a weekly basis, and i've wondered about the safety and whether it's just related to abs. I've also inquired at the dealership. Luckily, i've never been in an accident because of the problem. But, this weekend my friend with a prius had an accident because of the problem, so i decided to report my complaint.
