Consumer Description

WE OWN TWO (2) PRIUS CARS. ONE IS A 2008 TOURING MODEL PRIUS; THE OTHER IS A 2010 PRIUS V PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2009. BOTH CARS HAVE THE BRAKING ISSUE WHEN THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE USED ON ROUGH ROADS SUCH AS POTHOLES. I HAVE MADE THIS KNOWN TO CALDWELL TOYOTA - I WAS TOLD BOTH CARS OPERATE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS. BOTH CARS "JUMP AND LURCH FORWARD" WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS "SLAMMED ON". I KNOW THAT THE 2010 PRIUS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SAME ISSUE EXISTS IN THE 2008 PRIUS. WHY IS THE 2008 YEAR NOT BEING RECALLED? *TR
