THIS CAR IS SCARING ME AND ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS TO MOVE IT IN OR OUT OF A PARKING SPACE OR WHEN APPROACHING A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT LUNGES FORWARD WHEN PUTTING IT IN ANY GEAR AND WHEN AT A STOP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR. I AM SO AFRAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HIT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL OCCUR. YOUR FOOT CAN BE PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND IT STILL LUNGES FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT 38,000 AND IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE. *TR
