| Description of the problem | Been driving a 2007 yaris since july 2006 - no problems, now have 51,200 miles on it. On a completely dry and flat road on 4/9/10, i was approaching a yellow light at appx. 40 mph and began braking. Right before the light, as i hit a little bump (uneven pavement section where it changed from bridge surface to blacktop) the engine surged -- i felt it, saw the rpm needle go up and heard the engine rev. I had my foot on the brake the whole time. Had to push the brake very hard to get car to stop. No repairs / inspections yet - not looking forward to a dealership telling me they cannot duplicate the incident. Sounds like the 2010 prius brake recall issue to me . . . |
