    This Brake Stutter thing doesn't annoy me, and my 08 also has this behavior......only in some occasions or when the planets are aligned.

    It's puzzling me why people are not bothered by the stuttering from the ICE shutoff, which is happening more frequently than this occasional brake stuttering? It's not like the car wouldn't stop completely?

    And yes, why not just accepting this is the nature of hybrid drivetrain behavior?
    Like the ICE will shutoff during idling in HSD or date back when Brake pedal is always 'pulsing' during activation when ABS brake system was introduced?

    The car is punishing you for being so hard on the brakes. People need to learn to use brakes less by not speeding up to stoplights.

    Really? I'm punishing the brakes by speeding between lights?
    Wow, you deduced that from the posts here...please, what other driving tips can you provide?
    Is your knowledge limit to Prius things or perhaps I can tell you the amount of money in my wallet and you could critique my investing history too...
