Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS AND MY BRAKES SLIP WHENEVER A FRONT TIRE DROPS ONTO AN UNEVEN SURFACE. IT SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED AS HAPPENING TO THE 2010 MODELS. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AS I LIVE ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND WHEN I TURN ONTO MY ROAD IT IS AN UNEVEN SURFACE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, TO THE POINT THAT I ANTICIPATE THE OCCURRENCE WHEN ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE. I THINK THAT I COULD RECREATE THE OCCURRENCE IF NEEDED. (THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS JUST ONE OF SEVERAL) ALSO, THE LIGHT SHOWING THAT VEHICLE STABILIZATION IS ON LIGHTS UP WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS. *TR
