Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
I have a 1999 toyota 4runner that has the same problem with the abs as is being reported for the 2010 prius, only worse. When the abs kicks in on slick or uneven surfaces, the vehicle goes into a freely-floating mode for 5+ seconds. There is no braking capacity at all during that time and steering is difficult.

While pulling our 1999 4-runner with 39,000 miles into a parking stall, the brake peddle went all the way to the floor without stopping, resulting in a minor accident with no injuries.

He pumped the brakes and they "caught" and…

The car spun out of control - doing 2 complete spins on the highway, then…

Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
The truck is equipped with abs brakes that when being driven in snowy conditions, the brake system performs erratic. The owner states that he would hear some sort of humming sound but the truck continues forward. The toyota dealership did evaluate the brakes but no cause of performance was acknowledged.

Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
On several occasions while driving in snowy conditions, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. Each failure occured after the vehicle had been driven several miles. When brakes are applied there is a grinding noise. Dealership suggested that the metallic brakes may be worn too smooth, but could not pinpoint problem. *tt *jb

Brakes vibrate badly but only once in a while. After coming to a complete stop the rear axle or rear end clunks badly when releasing the brakes, tire have cupped prematurely even though balanced and aligned, gas gauge works most of the time but sometimes is incorrect by as much as 50%. Abs kicks in even when on dry pavement. *ak( dot number: w@hh tire size: p225/75r15 )
