problem #2

Nov 022012

Prius 4-cyl

  • 71,300 miles
Anti-lock brake system on dry and wet roads have adversely effected braking on my 2007 Prius for as long as I've owned it (since 10/2010). When the anti-lock brake system engages while pressing the brake with your foot the car slightly accelerates (or jumps/lunges) forward for a fraction of a second before the brakes then engage. On 11/02/2012 this issue contributed to a collision. Without this "glitch, " I may have been able to stop my car completely (as I was already only going very slowly). On previous visits to the dealer, I was told that's "just the way the car is built" and that there's nothing that can be done to change it.
