Description of the problem | My 2010 prius has issues with braking under certain conditions. It seems to happen mostly when i am braking on bumpy roads or going over railroad tracks. When this happens, it literally feels like the car is surging forward with enough force to actually make me feel like it is accelerating. I thought it was just me but, then, my wife had the same issue just the other day. In addition to the bumpy road, it was icy and it caused her to slide through an intersection. Today, i just heard about this issue from a co-worker so, i have decided to add mine to the list. |
