description: I HAD A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS THAT SEEMED TO HAVE ISSUES WHENEVER I WOULD HIT THE BRAKES ON SLICK\WET ROADS OR SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP. IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES WOULD NOT APPLY AND THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT ACCELERATED FORWARD INSTEAD OF STOPPING. USUALLY THE BRAKES WOULD KICK IN AFTER A SECOND OR TWO OF THIS KIND OF SLIPPING. HOWEVER, IN EARLY NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR WHILE TAKING MY SON TO KARATE ON A WET DAY WE HIT A SPOT OF REPAIRED ROAD THAT CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR AGAIN, INSTEAD OF CORRECTING ITSELF IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR AND THE CAR VEERED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WENT UP AN INCLINE AND FLIPPED THE CAR ONTO ITS SIDE. FORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE NO ONE WAS INJURED AT ALL AS I WAS GOING FAIRLY SLOW AND THE CAR QUICKLY CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT WENT ON IT SIDE. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BUT I RECENTLY SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT 2010 PRIUS HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THAT THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON AN OLDER VERSION OF THE PRIUS AS WELL. *TR
