Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME BRAKING ISSUE THAT IS BEING REPORTED ABOUT THE 2010 PRIUS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I AM DRIVING OR BRAKING WHILE GOING OVER POT-HOLES, RAILROAD TRACKS, OR VERY BUMPING ROADS I CAN FEEL A SUDDEN AND MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING AND/OR ACCELERATION. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH ALWAYS TURNS ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK THE DEALER JUST AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES THIS WEEK ALONE. I HAVE GOTTEN USED TO THIS HAPPENING BUT HAVE ALSO BEEN VERY CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE A REAREND COLLISION, OR SOMETHING EVEN WORSE. THIS NEEDS ATTENTION ASAP. THANK YOU *TR
