I considered Toyota to be the best manufacturer of automobiles in the world, bar none. I own a Mercedes Benz, a Subaru, a Lincoln and a Solara.
Braking before bumps in the road at the speed limit disengages the brakes upon traveling over the bumps. They don't kick in for several seconds after the bumps are cleared. This happens each and every time where bumps are encountered.
To reduce this dangerous situation in which the brakes fail, we try to avoid any known bumpy areas.On average twice a year we encounter bumpy conditions not present on our previous trips on that road.
It is not only disconcerting, scary and unnecessary, it is very dangerous and more innocent people will die due to this common fault in the Prius. I vow this: Until Toyota addresses and fixes this widespread dangerous model flaw, I will not cease to do everything I can to make others aware of Toyota's malicious negligence. I will do so to protect my daughter and others from serious injury and/or death. Toyota should be ashamed.
I wish it were not so.
