Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 PRIUS THAT HAS A BRAKE ISSUE CONCERNING ME. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED AND I GO OVER A ROUGH SPOT OR BUMP, THE BRAKES "FAIL" FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND AND IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS PROPELLED FORWARD. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER ON 2 OCCASIONS THAT "IT'S JUST THE ABS BRAKES KICKING IN", HOWEVER I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT (YET) BUT HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN I CAN IDENTIFY A SPOT IN THE ROAD THAT MIGHT CAUSE TROUBLE. THE LACK OF BRAKES FOR EVEN 1 SECOND MIGHT MEAN THAT I AM UNABLE TO STOP FROM HITTING A CAR AHEAD OF ME IF THAT CAR STOPS QUICKLY AND THE ROAD IF ROUGH. *TR
