| Description of the problem | I purchased the vehicle in 2011. Since then once in awhile when i stop my car at a light or a stop sign, the car moves forward even after i step on the brake. I then have to quickly put the brake on and turn the car off or else i'm a hit someone was in front of me. I have taken it to the dealer and i'm told that i have to bring it there when it's happening. This is happened a few times since 2011. It always happened when i would step on the brake at a stop light or a stop sign when my car should be motionless however it would keep going even though i stepped on the brake. I have not kept track of when this has happened. Below i had to put a date that it happened. I do not know the dates that this is happened since i purchased the car it is probably happened at least 10 times since i purchased the car in 2011. I did not keep track of the dates |
