Consumer Description

ON MY 2010 PRIUS IV WHICH I TOOK DELIVERY OF IN AUGUST, 2009, EVERY TIME I BRAKE, GOING OVER A POTHOLE OR LARGE BUMP, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD EVEN THOUGH I AM STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. A FEW TIMES I ALMOST HIT THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH OR POSSIBLY HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. I HOPE THIS SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE FATALITIES RESULT. I K NOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
