Description of the problem	When operating at low speeds the vehicle will sometimes unexpected lurch forward or backwards depending on if the transmission is in forward or reverse. I have automatic transmission. This often happens in maneuvers such as parking or backing into or out of a garage parking place. It happens when the transmission is in forward or reverse and typically when the driver's foot is on the brake and you are slowly easing into or out of a place like a parking spot or garage. This concerns me from a safety perspective since a prime time when this happens might be when i am pulling into or out of my garage at the beginning or end of a travel. My concern is that a child or adult may be crossing in front of or behind the car before it starts moving and then the car unexpected lurches forward or back and hits the pedestrian. It is almost as if the engine misfires and the engine and car "jumps" after the misfire. I have reported this to the dealership service department multiple times and they can not "reproduce" the incident. However, one of the service department personnel has the same model vehicle as me and says he knows what i am talking about because he has experienced it as well. It has happened on multiple occasions though i can not tell you any exact dates.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
