Description of the problem | I have been driving my 2010 prius for 3 months and have experienced the following issues, when braking, if a pothole or bump in the road is hit, the car seemingly jerks forward/accelerates for a split second and the traction light blinks. Even when there are no bumps, there is a lag in the time i depress the brake pedal, and when the brakes activate. The car almost coasts for about 1-2 seconds, which can make the difference in an accident or not. |
