INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS [XXX] WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, IF I DRIVE OVER A BUMP, IE RAILROAD TRACK, THE BRAKES DISENGAGE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN REENGAGE.

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY TOYOTA AS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 PRIUS, BUT NOT THE 2008 PRIUS. THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS ON MY 2008 PRIUS. *TR
