Break on the bumpy road

When I put an abrupt break on the bumpy road like manholes or potholes on the road, I feel, I don't know what to say, I feel like having my foot pushed back away from the break pedal when my TL little jumps due to potholes. So I have to push the pedel harder to fill the gap. Do you have the same problem? is this only my problem?

Sounds like the ABS kicking in. This would happen if a wheel gets a little airborne when the brakes are on, since the airborne wheel would lock up.

your wheels might have locked up for the split moment ur tires are off contact with the road, causing abs to kick in, its brakes by the way.

Sounds normal. Just the anti-lock brake system at work.

No need for a bunch of elaborate possibilities here. The green little Alien creatures have invaded your floorboards and are trying to cause you to crash by trying to prevent you from pushing the brake pedal. It's sabotage, I tell you, sabotage.

ABS

No problem. A normal reaction of your ABS. On continuous bumps or washboard, it's sensing intermittent lock up and your car is still moving forward, this will cause the car to engage the ABS.
