SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2010 PRIUS HAS BEEN EXHIBITING MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING WHEN PASSING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE. MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SEVERAL ROADS WITH STEEP SLOPES AND ALTHOUGH MY SPEED ON THESE ROUTES IS ALMOST ALWAYS UNDER 20 MPH, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NOTICED AN UNEASY FEELING OF LOSS OF CONTROL ON PASSING OVER POTHOLES OR SEAMS IN THE PAVEMENT WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. I HAD WRITTEN THIS OFF TO UNFAMILIARITY WITH A NEW VEHICLE, SINCE I ONLY PURCHASED THE CAR ON 12/31/09 BUT WHEN I READ TODAY'S NY TIMES ARTICLE, THE SYMPTOMS IT DESCRIBED WERE EXACTLY WHAT I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING. I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BUT PLAN TO DO SO RIGHT AWAY. *TR

WHENEVER SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. SHE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.
