2010 toyota Prius brakes problems

SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENS WHEN I AM BRAKING. AS I AM SLOWING AND BRAKING EVENLY, THERE IS A VERY BRIEF SURGE LIKE I HIT THE ACCELERATOR, BUT MY FOOT IS NO WHERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING AT ALL FOR A BRIEF MOMENT. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP, BUT IT CAN ALSO HAPPEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES NOW AND IT SEEMS TO BE INCREASING …

I HAVE A 2010 PRIUS. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I GO OVER UNEVEN GROUND (LIKE POTHOLES OR BUMPS) OR SLICK SURFACES (ESPECIALLY TRAIN TRACKS AND SEWER COVERS) MY BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO WORK. IT FEELS LIKE I AM NOT IN CONTROL OF MY CAR, AND FOR 2-3 SECONDS THE CAR IS NOT BRAKING EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT IS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. *TR

IN MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS, AS I'M BRAKING ON A ROUGH SURFACE, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE CAR ACCELERATES FOR A SPLIT SECOND. IT HAPPENED MOST RECENTLY ON 12/22 AS I WAS COMING TO A STOPLIGHT ON A ROAD WITH PATCHES OF SNOW/ICE DEBRIS IN CAMBRIDGE, MA. IT HAS OCCURRED MAYBE 5 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST, AND AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS JUST IMAGINING IT. WHEN IT HAPPENS, MY HEART RACES AND I PR…

I HAVE A NEW TOYOTA PRIUS 2010 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF BRAKING COMBINED WITH A SIMULTANEOUS ACCELERATION ABOUT 4 TIMES NOW. IT IS INCREDIBLY SCARY. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER CAR THAT I'VE DRIVEN. IT HAPPENS WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE REAR. I NOW SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AS I SAW AN ARTICLE ON MSNBC.MSN.COM. I NOW SEE THAT OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PR…

THE ROADS WERE COVERED WITH SNOW AND WERE QUITE SLIPPERY. I WAS COMING DOWN A HILL TO A STOP SIGN AT ABOUT 10 MPH. I HIT THE BRAKES LIGHTLY, THE ABS ENGAGED (I COULD HEAR/FEEL THE BRAKES PULSE), BUT THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN MUCH. I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, THE ABS WAS STILL ENGAGED AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, AGAIN SLOWING DOWN VERY SLOWLY. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN A …

WHEN I BRAKE MY PRIUS WHERE THE SURFACE IS VERY ROUGH OR BROKEN, THE BRAKES SEEM TO ENGAGE INITIALLY BUT THEN RELEASE. I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN AGAIN VERY HARD TO GET THEM TO ENGAGE TO THE POINT OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE. YESTERDAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE COMPLETING LONG SLOW BRAKING AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP HILL, I ENCOUNTERED SOME ROUGH PAVEMENT JUST BEFORE THE STOP SIGN AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKES SEEMED TO …

MY NEW 2010 PRIUS HAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR ABOUT 2 MONTHS, AND HAVE PUT ABOUT 3000 MILES ON IT. ON THREE OCCASIONS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SITUATION WHERE THE BRAKES SUDDENLY RELEASED, AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. TWO OF THE SITUATIONS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP NEAR AN INTERSECTION (I WAS MOVING INTO A LEFT TURN LANE, AND SUDDENLY THE BR…
