Consumer Description
MOST RECENT FAILURE WAS A FEW DAYS AGO BUT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2008 PRIUS IN MARCH OF 08--- I THOUGHT IT WAS A QUIRK IN THE CAR --- SOMETHING THAT JUST NATURALLY HAPPENED WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A POT HOLE OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD --- THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD --- I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR --- NO BRAKES --- I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS WAS NOT A "NATURAL" RESPONSE UNTIL I HEARD THE DESCRIPTION ON A NEWS BROADCAST A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. MODEL YEARS PRIOR TO 2010 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE INVESTIGATION. I AM GOING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER. THANK YOU *TR
