Consumer Description

2007 TOYOTA PRIUS - BRAKING ISSUE ON RAINY OR SLICK SURFACE. UPON NORMAL BRAKING ON A SLICK OR WET SURFACE THE CAR BECOMES UNSTABLE, THE ABS BRAKING BECOMES IRREGULAR AND THE CAR GOES INTO A SKID AND DOES NOT STOP IN A NORMAL FASHION OR WITHIN A NORMAL BRAKING DISTANCE. THE SAME BRAKING RESPONSE OCCURS IF I HIT A POTHOLE WHILE BRAKING. THE TOYOTA DEALER TELLS ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL AS I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR UNDER WET OR SNOWY CONDITIONS FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKING ISSUES NOTED IN THE 2010 PRIUS MAKE ME WONDER IF A SIMILAR CONDITION EXISTS FOR THE 2007 MODEL YEAR. I SUSPECT THAT IT IS THE ECU WHICH IS FAULTY. *TR
