| Description of the problem | When coming to slow stop, the vehicle will lunge forward before completely stopping. This behavior started several months ago and was very random in the beginning, but has become more and more frequent - almost every time i come to complete stop. Vehicle also hesitates when gas is pressed and then surges forward. That behavior is very random at this stage, but car has done that over the past year. Because of the "lunging" at stops, i have taken vehicle to repair shop and they indicate the vehicle's computer needs to be updated. This appears to be a common problem with this make/model/year. |
