Consumer Description

MOMENTARY ACCELERATION DURING NORMAL BRAKING. PROBLEM OCCURS REGULARLY (BUT NOT EVERY TIME) DURING NORMAL BRAKING. LEXUS DEALER SERVICE WRITER REPORTS THIS AS NORMAL AND EXPECTED PERFORMANCE. IT APPEARS THAT NORMAL BRAKING STARTS WITH REGENERATIVE BRAKES AND THEN TRANSITIONS TO FRICTION BRAKES. THERE IS A MOMENT DURING THE TRANSITION THAT BRAKING POWER IS LOST AND VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATES. TO MAINTAIN EVEN DECELERATION DURING EVERY BRAKING MANEUVER THE DRIVER MUST BE PARTICULARLY AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND BE PREPARED TO QUICKLY APPLY SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING THE TRANSITION PHASE THEN IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE ADDED PRESSURE TO PREVENT OVER-BRAKING.. *TR
