I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A ROAD APPROX. 25 MPH. I HIT A DIP IN THE ROAD RIGHT AS I WAS BRAKING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE AUTOMOBILE SURGED FORWARD DESPITE MY FOOT BEING ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE HAVING THE RECALL FIX!!! THIS PROBLEM MUST BE FIXED. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND GET THE SAME ANSWER EVERY TIME - THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I DO NOT CONSIDER IT TO BE NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD WHILE MY FOOD IS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET SOMETHING DONE! WE TRIED ARBITRATION TO GET RID OF OUR VEHICLE AND TOYOTA BASICALLY SAID THAT WE WERE LYING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. PLEASE REVIEW AND RECALL. I KNOW BY READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!! *TR

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE THE MOMENTARY LOSS OF BRAKING POWER EVEN AFTER THE RECALL FIX WAS APPLIED BACK IN MARCH. I EXPERIENCE THE SAME LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AS I DID IN THE PAST WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, POT HOLES AND THE LIKE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HITTING THE BRAKE ON A DECLINE. I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A FIELD TECH SPECIALIST WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM - BUT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IT A HALF DOZEN TIMES SINCE THE RECALL AND HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA'S HQ - THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED. I CONTINUE TO FEEL AS IF PEDESTRIAN, OTHER DRIVER, AND MY OWN SAFETY ARE AT RISK WITH THIS CONTINUED BRAKE ISSUE THAT TOYOTA CANNOT SEEM TO FIX. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
OUR NEW 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS LOST ITS BRAKES FOR A SHORT PERIOD WHEN DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AT SLOW SPEED (10 MPH). ALTHOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES COMPLETELY RELEASED FOR ROUGHLY 2 SECONDS AND THEN RE-APPLIED. WE HAD JUST DRIVEN OVER A SMALL BUT SHARP BUMP. I UNDERSTAND HOW ABS WORKS, AND THIS WAS NOT ABS. THE BRAKES COMPLETELY RELEASED AND THE CAR "JUMPED" FORWARD - IT JUMPED BECAUSE THE HILL WAS QUITE STEEP. WHAT IS MOST DISTURBING IS THAT THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN SERVICED (MAY 29TH) AND THE EVENT HAPPENED MAY 31. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR A BRAKE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAD "FORGOTTEN" TO DO THE RECALL. FURTHER, I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. *TR

2010 PRIUS ACCELERATES WHILE BRAKING AND SURGES IN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY. MANY BUT NOT ALL OCCASIONS WERE WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS AND/OR WET ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. TOYOTA CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THE TESTING AND DENIES THAT IT IS REAL. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO TOYOTA FOR REPAIRS BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED AND WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AS IT IS NOT SAFE. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM (CA) AND TOYOTA HAS DENIED THE CLAIM WITH A FORM TYPE LETTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS PURCHASED IN JULY 2009. DURING OWNERSHIP I EXPERIENCED WHEN THERE WAS A CREASE, HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD WHEN BRAKING - IT ACCELERATING AND LUNGES. I AVOIDED SITUATIONS LIKE THAT AND WHEN THE RECALL CAME, I TOOK IT TO BUTLER TOYOTA (ALSO HAD THE FLOOR MAT HOOKS INSTALLED PRIOR), ON APRIL 5, 2010. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I CAME UPON A MANHOLE COVER IN A ROAD WHILE BRAKING AND MAKING A TURN SO GOING SLOW, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE NEXT DAY I PURPOSELY WENT THROUGH IT TO "TEST" AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT LUNGE INTO THE OTHER LANE. I WAS SCARED AND CALLED BUTLER TOYOTA. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL NATIONAL TOYOTA TO REPORT. THEY CONTACT BUTLER AND I WENT BACK IN MAY 21, THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT AND "SHRUGGED" THEIR SHOULDERS SAYING IT'S THE ABS. THEY OFFERED TO HAVE A FIELD TECH PERSON COME DRIVE MY CAR. I CALLED NATIONAL AGAIN AND THEY SEEM TO BE "MEDIATING" THIS WITH BUTLER. I FOUND A REPORT FROM CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM THAT THIS VERY SIMILAR ISSUE WAS OCCURRING BACK IN 2008 AND THEY CALLED IT "TRACTION CONTROL". NO ONE FROM TOYOTA HAS TOLD ME THIS. I WANT IT FIXED OR A DIFFERENT CAR. I HAVE A TEENAGE WITH A PERMIT AND IF HE WAS DRIVING THIS AND IT OCCURRED, HE WOULD PROBABLY RUN INTO SOMEONE BECAUSE IT TAKES YOU BY SURPRISE. I DO FEAR HIM DRIVING IT DUE TO HIS INEXPERIENCE AND I FRANKLY AM CONCERNED AND AM VERY CAUTIOUS AS A RESULT. *TR

I HAD THE TOYOTA PRIUS REFLASH DONE ON MY CAR. SINCE THIS REFLASH I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE BRAKE SURGE. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. I NOTICED AN UPCOMING STOP SIGN AND A SMALL DIP IN THE ROAD. I ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 10 MPH. UPON HITTING THE DIP THE CAR SURGED FORWARD TOWARD THE STOP SIGN AND INTERSECTION. DESPITE APPLYING EVEN AND STEADY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN ACCORD. WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INSTANCES SINCE THE 'FIX' BY TOYOTA. WE TRIED ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT WE HAVE BEEN IGNORED. I AM CONCERNED THAT A FUTURE SURGE WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT ABOUT 7:45 AM SUNDAY MAY 23, I WAS DRIVING WEST ON HAMBURG TURNPIKE IN WAYNE, GENTLY ACCELERATING TO GET BETTER MILEAGE, THE LIGHT AT BERDAN AVE AND HAMBURG HAD JUST TURNED GREEN, SO I ACCELERATED SLOWLY TO ABOUT 40 MPH. AT THIS POINT, I HEAR A SHRIEKING BEEP AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH THE USUAL MESSAGE SQUARE AND THE WORD BRAKE! IN THE BOX. I LOOK IN ALL DIRECTIONS AND SAW NOTHING UNTIL I BOUNCED OVER THE CONSTRUCTION PLATES. THE BOX WAS GONE, AND THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. I WAS PUZZLED. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE PLATES. I CHECKED WITH MY SON AND HE REMINDED ME THAT IN THE MODEL 5 WE HAVE RADAR CRASH AVOIDANCE. UPON FURTHER REVIEW I WANTED MORE INFORMATION. I TOOK MY SON, AND A CAMERA, AND DROVE THE ROUTE AGAIN. EUREKA! IN ALL THREE ATTEMPTS, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DASH, AND THE PLATES. DID THE CAR PERFORM CORRECTLY? THE SECOND PLATE IS NOT FLUSH TO THE ROAD AND STICKS OUT TO THE LEFT. I THINK OTHER DRIVERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILITY SO THEY DO NOT PANIC WHEN IT HAPPENS. THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM COULD HAVE BEEN DOING ITS JOB CORRECTLY. I CONTACTED WAYNE POLICE ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THE DISPATCHER SAID AFTER CONSULTATION ' IT IS A COUNTY ROAD, CALL THE PASSAIC COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENT. MY CAR COMPUTER WILL HAVE RECORDED ALL 3 INCIDENTS. THE THIRD WAS NOT AS BIG A JOLT BECAUSE THE DRIVER AHEAD OF ME HAD SLOWED CONSIDERABLY WHEN HE SAW THE PLATES. THERE IS A WARNING SIGN THAT IS BEYOND THE PLATES IN THE PICTURE. LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE IN SERVICE IS INTERESTED IN THE INFORMATION SINCE THIS IS A NEW FEATURE AND I KNOW AS A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER OF SOME 40+ YEARS THAT A SYSTEM DOES NOT ALWAYS GET TESTED FOR ALL POSSIBLE EVENTS. I ALSO CANNOT BELIEVE THAT UNLIKE NYC WHERE THERE MUST BE NO BUMPS OR RAISED PLATES DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT PASSAIC COUNTY ALLOWS THESE PLATES TO BE INSTALLED WITHOUT BEING FLAT OR ASPHALTED AROUND THE EDGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS COMING OFF FREEWAY EXIT RAMP AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON UNEVEN, CURVY ROAD. WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTION FROM SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AWAY, BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE FOR ABOUT A SECOND; ALSO FELT THE VEHICLE "LURCH" FORWARD IN THAT LAPSE OF TIME. REPEATED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES FINALLY BROUGHT CAR TO STOP BUT NOT IN TIME TO PREVENT COLLISION WITH INCOMING PICKUP TRUCK ON STRAIGHTAWAY TRAFFIC. POLICE ARRIVED AT SCENE BUT DID NOT FILE REPORT BECAUSE NOBODY WAS INJURED. BODY SHOP ESTIMATED DAMAGE ON FRONT BUMPER AT $1500. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER ON 05/18/2010 FOR INSPECTION. SERVICE MANAGER SAID ECU BRAKE RECALL HAD BEEN CONDUCTED ON SAID VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2010 AT DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. CURRENTLY STILL AWAITING ON CONCLUSIVE REPORT FROM TOYOTA ENGINEERS. CAR ONLY HAS 1000 MILES ON ODOMETER. BRAKE FAILURE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED SOME TEN TIMES IN THE 2 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, USUALLY DURING HIGHER SPEEDS OVER UNEVEN ROAD. CAME CLOSE TO ACCIDENTS ON THREE INSTANCES, NOT INCLUDING THIS ACTUAL ONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT COULD RESULT IN FATALITIES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE! *TR

AS NOTED IN NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE10006. I ENTERED AN INCIDENT DATE OF 5/19/2010, BUT THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY WITH MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS (PURCHASED OCT. 2009). IT IS AS DESCRIBED IN THE INVESTIGATION SUMMARY; A MOMENTARY LAPSE IN BRAKING WHILE TRAVELING OVER UNEVEN OR ROUGH SURFACES. I HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PERFORMED LAST WEEK AND INTERESTINGLY, IT SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN. IT'S VERY DISCONCERTING AND ALARMING. FORTUNATELY, IT'S NEVER HAPPENED WHEN THERE IS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME (AS ON THE EXIT RAMP OF A FREEWAY OR PRIOR TO A STOPLIGHT), BUT IF IT DOES, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT WILL RESULT IN A CRASH, FOR WHICH I WILL NO DOUBT BE WRONGLY BLAMED AND CITED. I'M TO THE POINT THAT I WOULD PREFER THAT MY WIFE NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND AM CONSIDERING WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE WITH TOYOTA --- RETURNING THE CAR, SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL COMPENSATION ETC. WHEN I HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PERFORMED, I NOTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE THEM WRITE IT ON THE SERVICE ORDER TO DOCUMENT IT. THIS COMPLAINT IS ALSO TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOTE THAT WE OWN A 1996 4RUNNER AND A 2003 HIGHLANDER (MY PARENTS OWN A 2010 PRIUS AND 2010 CAMRY AS WELL), SO IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST TOYOTA. ALSO, I TRAVEL A LOT FOR MY JOB (80%+) AND OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS HAVE PROBABLY DRIVEN AT LEAST 20 DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF CARS. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN ANY CAR I HAVE OWNED OR RENTED. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS (15 MPH OR LESS), ESPECIALLY UNDER WET ROAD CONDITIONS AND AFTER HITTING A BUMP (POT HOLE, ROUGH ROAD, ETC.), THE BRAKES TEMPORARILY FAIL AND THE CAR SKIDS, WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING IT SEEMS AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL WORK PERFORMED ON MY CAR, BUT IT STILL OCCURS. THE TOYOTA SOLUTION TO "STEP ON THE BRAKE HARDER" IS NOT ALWAYS A SOLUTION, ESPECIALLY AS THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES OCCURS NOT COMING TO A FULL STOP, BUT BREAKING DURING TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE THE SO-CALLED RECALL "FIX" FOR THE BRAKING SOFTWARE WAS INSTALLED. *TR

TWO ISSUES WITHIN 5 MINUTES (WILL FILE TWO REPORTS). FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT OF LEVEL PARKING SPACE. BRAKES GRABBED ON AND OFF AS IF I WERE PRESSING BRAKES FIRMLY, RELEASING, THEN PRESSING FIRMLY AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH I WAS LIGHTLY HOLDING THE BRAKES AS I WAS REVERSING. SECOND ISSUE OCCURRED A FEW MINUTES LATER WHILE BRAKING ON A DESCENT, GOING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH. MY FRONT LEFT TIRE WENT OVER A MANHOLE COVER WHICH CAUSED A MILD BUMP, WHICH RESULTED IN A MOMENTARY RELEASE OF THE BRAKES. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW LAST WEEK (MAY 13, 2010), HAS APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES, AND HAS NO RECALLS OUTSTANDING. *TR

AFTER TAKING MY 2010 PRIUS IN FOR THE RECALL FIX ON APRIL 1, 2010, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT SAFETY DEFECTS. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHO REPORTED IT TO CORPORATE AND ARRANGED FOR A FIELD TECH TO ANALYZE THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 13TH. THEY SAID WE WOULD HEAR FROM TOYOTA WITH IN TWO WEEKS I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE DEALER SO I CALLED THE DEALER LAST WEEK. DEALER HAD NOT HEARD BACK. I FILED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THEN DEALER INFORMED ME YESTERDAY 5/17 THAT THE CAR WAS HEALTHY AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. MY CAR EXPERIENCED THE SAME BRAKE FAILURE THIS MORNING, TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS, AND HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE BRAKING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THE JACK SAFRO DEALERSHIP SAID TO BRING IT IN, AS THERE WAS A RECALL. SINCE THEY WORKED ON IT, I SEE NO CHANGE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE, AND THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THE MECHANIC SAID HE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOTE THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. I FEAR REAR ENDING SOMEONE. OR WORSE HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. *TR
