I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN BRAKING - SPECIFICALLY WHEN THE ROAD MAY HAVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP OR UNEVENNESS.  WHEN THIS OCCURS, I AM NOT CERTAIN THAT THE CAR WILL STOP.  THIS DOES NOT OCCUR DURING BREAKING ON SMOOTH SURFACES.  I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN NOV. AND RECEIVED THIS RESPONSE:  WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2009 1:05 PM:   I'M RESPONDING TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE PRIUS BRAKING CONDITION. ONE THING TO KNOW ABOUT THE PRIUS BRAKING SYSTEM IS THAT WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THERE IS A SIGNAL TO THE GENERATOR TO ENGAGE. THIS DOES 2 THINGS, HELPS REGENERATE THE HYBRID BATTERY AND ASSISTS IN BRAKING THE VEHICLE, AND THE NORMAL BRAKES ALSO APPLY TO ASSIST IN BRAKING. I DID HAVE ANOTHER PRIUS OWNER ASK ABOUT THIS ALSO, I HAD HIM COME OUT AND DROVE WITH HIM AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE STATED CONDITION. I THINK HE WAS PUSHING TO FAST AND HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL CAUSING THE LURCH. WHEN I DROVE HIS VEHICLE I DID TELL HIM I WAS TRYING TO BE VERY CONSCIOUS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I WAS APPLYING TO THE PEDAL. I DID NOTICE THE BRAKES ARE VERY RESPONSIVE TO PEDAL PRESSURE. BEFORE RESPONDING TO YOUR E-MAIL I DID CHECK ONLINE WITH TOYOTA TECHNICAL GROUP TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY PERTAINING SERVICE BULLETINS PERTAINING TO YOUR QUESTION, THERE WERE NO APPLICABLE BULLETINS.    I HOPE THIS HELPS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.     THANKS FOR CHOOSING SEEGER TOYOTA,  TIM EVERS,   SERVICE MANAGER    THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND I'VE NOTICED IT OCCURS WHEN BRAKING ON SNOW PACKED ROADS -- I NEARLY REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY CAR SEEMED TO LURCH FORWARD - I COULD NOT STOP - I HAD TO SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID COLLISION.  I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALER (WEISS TOYOTA IN ST. LOUIS, MO.)  THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSE.  WHEN I CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER AGAIN ON 2/4/10, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE PRIUS FROM TOYOTA. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2010","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
