2010 Toyota PRIUS Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	759451
Internal NHTSA #	10304110
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	PRIUS
Model Year	2010
File date	29/01/10
Component	SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When braking at low speeds, if the car hits a manhole cover or uneven, bumpy road, there is a split-second loss in braking (which feels like acceleration since the driver expects to be decelerating at the time). Other priuschat site users have complained about the same problem with the 2010 prius - some users claimed this was "normal" when the regenerative brakes switch over to hydraulic brakes and that there was really no loss in braking. It may be "normal" but it's scary as heck when it happens and if a pedestrian crosses in front of the car or a car in front of a 2010 prius stops quickly under just the wrong circumstances, i suspect an accident would result.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
