That's what I was thinking...

I don't think ABS would kick in while going downhill. I do know that the Yaris simulates engine braking, but ABS should only kick in when slamming down the brakes, not when gliding to a slower speed. Besides, my issue happens even on flat roads just letting off the accelerator and gliding to a slower speed.

Yeah..

So I'm still thinking about if I should take it to the dealer to have it checked out. I'm just worried about how long it might take to investigate and fix if necessary.
