Description of the problem | Twice i have turned right into my driveway and my car has surged forwarded as if hit from behind or the brakes failed. I am obviously at a low speed and the road slopes down slightly. My drive is gravel. It probably surged a good car length before the brakes engaged, yet my foot was on the brakes the entire time. It was scary as hell. The first time i thought i had been hit from behind by another car. The dealer looked at it today and found no issues. I'm not happy with this waiting to happen again as i have no idea what sequence of events caused it before. The first time was about a month and a half ago and the other time was one week ago. |
