NHTSA Complaint #10307858 — 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS AND APPARENTLY I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 2010'S IN THE RECALL. AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION FROM NEW RELEASES I REALIZE THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. THE EVENT IS REPRODUCIBLE AND OCCURS WHENEVER I'M BRAKING AND THE CAR HITS THE SLIGHTEST BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD. IF I DO NOT LET GO OF THE BRAKE JUST BEFORE THE BUMP/DIP/SMALL POTHOLE, THE BRAKE SEEMS TO DISENGAGE AND THE CAR FEELS AS IF ITS LURCHING FORWARD. THE ENGINE DOES NOT SEEM TO REV BUT THERE IS A DEFINITE FEELING OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PRETTY MUCH SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT DID NOT THINK ALL TO MUCH OF IT, I JUST ADJUSTED MY DRIVING HABITS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. ( I THOUGHT PERHAPS THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL WAS JUST TOO SENSITIVE) I DRIVE THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND A ROAD I TRAVEL ON HAS GOTTEN PRETTY BEAT UP WITH ALL THE SNOW REMOVAL SO I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL DRIVING ON THIS ROAD IF THERE IS ANY TRAFFIC, AS I MUST ANTICIPATE THE BUMPS/DIPS AND BRAKE ACCORDINGLY OTHERWISE THIS EVENT WILL OCCUR. AGAIN THE ISSUE IS REPRODUCIBLE THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. *TR
