Consumer Description

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES AND CAR ACCELERATES WHEN ENCOUNTERING SUDDEN BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS OCCURS WHEN HITTING BUMPS WHILE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. I HAVE INFORMED TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND THEY NEVER REPLIED. THE AFFECTED CAR IS A 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH 65,000 MILES. PURCHASED CPO IN AUGUST OF 2009 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. THIS ISSUE IS A REPEAT OCCURANCE. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE IN EXCESS OF 20 TIMES SINCE I'VE ASSUMED THIS CAR AND NOTICED PRIOR TO THE MASSIVE RECALL NOISE IN THE MEDIA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
