Bought this car certified used from Toyota dealer in mid-may 2013. First Prius I've owned, and not used to driving it, so the first couple times it 'lurched forward' with the brakes on, I was surprised, but figured it was just related to the 'hybrid'. It happened again last week at a stop sign with rough road - braking, hit bumps, and brakes disappear! took it into dealer this morning, and they're saying it's 'normal'. Then I start researching and while car is not included in any recalls, it's the same problem investigated in ntsb 10v039000. Exactly! car is still at dealer, as I have asked to speak to service mgr. And just in news today, supreme court is allowing calif 2010 Prius owners to sue Toyota over a bogus fix for this problem. Not sure what to do, but not going to let up on this. Half dozen times in 4 months this has happened, and I like the feeling less every time. Anything I can do? (when you all get back to work).

I am documenting that I am experiencing this issue: Toyota recall campaign #10v039000 though this recall is technically for 2010 Prius vehicles only, my 2007 Prius experience the same problem: "inconsistent brake feel after abs actuation during slow and steady application. . . " however, this issue has occurred even during dry weather on smooth road (unlike the campaign states "under slippery/wet/rough road conditions"). This problem has happened 3 times total over the past month since I purchased the vehicle mid-October 2010. Additionally - the safety complaint portable form doesn't work correctly (I have a macbook running os 10. 6. 5). If your "quick" version doesn't work on apple computers, you should say so before people waste their time trying to use your alleged "quick" form.
