I don't know why some dealers like to BS like this: faults are normal
and "within spec", so "get used to it" !!!

Bart has taken her Prius into the dealer twice. "They've said they
can't find anything and they can't duplicate it," she said. "You have
to hit it just so."

One owner from Commerce Township told the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration that he or she could reproduce a lurching in a
Prius every time a certain pothole was hit.

The Prius owner said a Toyota dealer had responded the car was "within
specifications ... and we just have to get used to it."

You're fairly ignorant, aren't you?

Do you know what a car is?
Ever driven a Prius?
I doubt it.

Try looking this term up. It might be a little over your head:
Regenerative Braking

Learn something.

You're aware that Ford has admitted to having the exact same problem with
its hybrids?

Who is ignorant? Toyota admitted software is at fault in the prius
allowing a 1 second brake delay. They fixed the prius production line
last month. At 60 mph you only go 86 feet before brakes engauge. Thats
about 90 feet of praying for 2010 prius owners, you wouldnt drive a
car like that, nor would I. They say its software but say they havnt
decided on how to fix it and havnt even sent out warnings or a recall
notice, that my friend is ignorant for toyota to do nothing until they
are headlione news. They probably have to replace the computer and a
few more things, but dont want the expense, 1.7 billion 09 4th quarter
profit and they are worries about maybe 200-1000 a car to fix it!
Thats ignorant. You are upset they are headline news, they would never
have been the main headline for long if they fixed what they knew all
along was wrong.

Does Ford still license their hybrid technology from Toyota?
