Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Anytime sport mode is engaged, car does not decrease in speed properly. Even with brake applied, the car lunges forward as i'm trying to slow down. When driving using sport mode, i have to stay very far away from other vehicles in case of sudden braking because the vehicle will not slow down properly. My husband drove my car in sport mode not knowing that it lunged forward when braking and wound up an inch away from someone's bumper after attempting to slow down from a speed of about 20mph. This is extremely unsafe for the driver and other's around.
