The Gen-3 Prius had a similar problem although it was reduced with a software patch. But it was obscure because it was hard to reproduce:
- slippery road - AND
- modest braking - AND
- ~18 mph - AND
- speed-bump or sized pot hole
The tan line shows how stopping paused for about 700-800 milliseconds:
This is the pot hole I used to test the car before and after the patch:
I still have an impressive collection of bumps that induced the problem:
