description: MY 2005 TOYOTA PRIUS FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCES BRAKE FAILURE WHILE BRAKING ON BUMPY PAVEMENT OR ROUGH TERRAIN. THE CAR APPEARS TO LURCH FORWARD FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO BAY RIDGE TOYOTA ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE HAVING THE CAR SERVICED. THEY REASSURED ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING NORMALLY, AND THIS PHENOMENON WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WITH ABS BRAKES. SINCE I WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL", NO REPAIR WAS OFFERED ME. I HAVE HAD ONE RELATIVELY MINOR CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE HOOD OF THE CAR, BUT FORTUNATELY NO INJURIES. BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE I FIRST TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR. *TR
