| Description of the problem | I have noticed the same brake issue with my 2005 scion (toyota) xa at least twice, as reported on the news this morning about the toyota prius. I was approaching a red light @ sunrise blvd and folsom blvd. And applied the brakes as i was going over a couple of sets of train tracks. The vehicle felt like i was propelled forward when i hit the tracks instead of slowing down. It lasted only a second but scared the heck out of me! I thought i was going to rear end the vehicle in front of me. I wrote it off like it was just my imagination or something till i saw the news. Now my wife is driving the vehicle and i warned her to make sure she applies the brakes before any train tracks, and told her i would report it. I am worried about her safety. Does this vehicle have the same braking system or flaw? Please investigate and advise. |
