Global Sales In January 2019: Over 150,000 At 1.9% Market Share

In 2006 the gen II prius sold 185,600 units world wide which was over 4x what the gen I and II sold in 2003.

Both the passengers and I feel it, and it doesn't occur when I am braking. this has been a 2 year long ordeal, trying to figure this out. Does anyone know if a bad caliper can cause something like this to occur? What makes it more of a challenge is it comes and goes; lately, since getting my car back (after someone hit the back and I had to get it fixed) and new brake pads, I notice it even more. It vibrates so much I sometimes do not feel safe. No light pop up on my dash; I have had 3 shops look at it.. The first shop said new rotors and calipers, but google says the vibration is felt when braking, which is not when the problem occurs. The second shop says it is a mechanical/computer or drive-train issue, and to not...
