      I have noticed several times since June braking problems. They have generally occurred when I brake right on top of a sharp bump. The brake will go out and the car jumps forward. I have not tried to reproduce it since it has happened different places and usually when I don't expect it. I am not going fast at the time, I have already starting braking. After hearing about the "lurching forward of the 2010 Pruis w/ braking" on TV, I took my car to a large, local Northern California Toyoata dealer where I purchased my car.
      The service manager test drove it and said he thought he felt it when driving it over railroad tracks. He told me to come back two days later (today) when their Pruis "expert" was in. I brought the car back in and was told "the car was acting like it should with its' abs brake system", everything was ok, nothing wrong w/ it. He didn't test drive it. This was his opinion. He said they have not had any complaints.

      Next steps?

      Several times since June, braking problems occurred w/ my 3G Prius. Generally when I brake right on top of a sharp bump. The brake will go out and the car jumps forward. I have not tried to reproduce it since it has happened different places and usually when I don't expect it. I am not going fast at the time, I have already starting braking. I took my car to a large, Northern California Toyota dealer where I purchased my car.
      The service manager test drove it and said he thought he felt it too when driving it over railroad tracks. He told me to come back when their Pruis "expert" was in. Today I was told "the car was acting like it should with its' abs brake system", everything was ok, nothing wrong w/ it. He didn't test drive it. This was his opinion.

      What next steps do you recommend I take to have the issue addressed? Thank you for your feedback - Kate
