SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WE'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND I BOTH WHILE DRIVING. WHILE BRAKING THE BRAKE PEDAL RISES AGAINST YOUR FOOT AND THE VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD THEN AS YOU APPLY MORE FORCE THE PEDAL GOES DOWN AND THE VEHICLE STOPS SUDDENLY. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE BRAKE WEAR AND FLUID LEVELS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FINE, IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER ASSIST TO THE BRAKE MAYBE AS THE HYBRID MODEL ENGINE STARTS BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN BRAKING AFTER COASTING SO THE ENGINE WOULD BE OFF BUT AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE NORMAL STOP YOU FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL GET HARD AND THEN NORMAL AGAIN. DURING THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDNESS THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE INCREASES WHICH REACTS IN A HARDER BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE BUT BY THEN THE ASSIST IS BACK AND THE STOP IS SUDDEN. THIS COULD CAUSE BOTH AN ACCIDENT FROM HITTING SOMEONE DURING THE LOSS OF BRAKE AND FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN STOP. *TR
