2007 Toyota Prius with 24, 000 kms (about 15, 000 miles) - when braking (at any speed) over gravel, bumps, potholes, puddles, ice or any object, the vehicle lurches forward and seems to accelerate briefly before the brakes kick in. This is a constant, daily issue... not a one time occurrence. Toyota company has claimed that it's a result of a pause from when the standard hydraulic brakes switch over to the electronic braking system. Dealer unwilling to cover repairs at their expense - will cost me hundreds to pay for it myself. The current recall doesn't cover my vehicle year/make as of yet... hopefully enough complaints will mount to warrant a new recall!
