Consumer Description

THE CAR'S BRAKING SYSTEM IS FLAWED ON ROUGH / POT HOLE SURFACES. EVERYTIME ON THE WAY TO WORK, THERE IS A PORTION OF ROAD THAT IS VERY ROUGH/ UNEVEN/WAVE LIKE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE WHILE ON THIS PORTION OF ROAD THE CAR ACTUALLY SPEEDS UP WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE (THE CAR SLOWS DOWN IN THE BEGINNING THEN APPEARS THE BRAKES RELEASE PRESSURE AND VEHICLE SPEEDS UP AS IF I JUST RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE). THIS IS VERY REPRODUCIBLE, "EVERYDAY". THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO A FAMILY MEMBER'S PRIUS BRAKING PROBLEM AND ACTUAL LIKE MY INFINTI JX35 BRAKE ISSUE. *TR
