Pressing the brake pedal when going over a bump or patchy road the car seems to lose control. It feels like the brake calipers have let go and the sensation of a car lunging forward with no driver control. I have experienced this when traveling under 50mph and I've had to hit the brakes in an abrupt fashion. This has occurred multiple times in the past year.

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.
