Consumer Description

I KEEP HEARING ABOUT THE MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING ON THE 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS. HOWEVER, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY 2009 PRIUS. WHEN PASSING OVER A SLICK, BUMPY, OR ICY SURFACE, I EXPERIENCE A MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING, AND A WARNING LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE A CAR SKIDDING COMES ON FOR LESS THAN A SECOND. THIS GENERALLY OCCURS AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS UP TO 25-30 MPH. *TR
