Consumer Description

THERE IS A WELL KNOWN FLAW WITH TOYOTA HYBRIDS THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND FIX. WHEN YOU BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, IF THEY CAR ENCOUNTERS BUMPS OR POTHOLES, THE BRAKE PRESSURE WILL MOMENTARILY DECREASE AND THE CAR WILL SURGE FORWARD. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT CERTAIN VEHICLES, BUT RATHER ALL HYBRIDS. IT CAN LEAD TO A PEDESTRIAN BEING HIT OR OTHER ACCIDENT. IT IS MOST DISCONCERTING TO FEEL THE CAR LURCH FORWARD WHILE BRAKING TO A STOP. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND PUT PRESSURE ON TOYOTA TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR. *TR
