| Description of the problem | This problem which i have noticed in my new 2010 toyota venza is similar to the problem being reported in the 2010 prius with the anti-lock brake system. What i have observed is frequent jerks which can be termed as inconsistent brake feel during slow and steady application of brakes on slick road. This happened on the day when it snowed here in columbus ohio this january. I do not recall the exact date but there result of the action of applying brake did not immediately stop the car and resulted in a drag. Surprisingly, the jerks on application on the brake shock me and i felt as if there was something wrong with the braking system. I am not certain if this is a problem that is exactly similar to what people have been complaining with 2010 prius but 2010 venza is a new model of cars introduced by toyota in the last year and i am suspecting this could be the issue. I will make a visit to the dealership this weekend to discuss this issue along with the recall of the floor mat but i am hoping this is not overlooked. |
