Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle goes from a soft braking to a jolting stop at speeds below 20 mph. The vehicle jerks severly when braking and i am also very concerned this will be a problem on wet roads and i'm worried about being rear-ended as it stops suddenly. I experience this everyday that i drive it. Now, the brakes have also been releasing when i'm trying to stop at higher speeds, giving the feeling that i may not get stopped in time. And this is only getting worse. The car especially jolts when creeping forward at a light or into a parking spot. The releasing, where i felt like i could not stop the car, i have experienced recently also happened in the same situations. The car will also occasionally creep forward when the car was stopped, and the brake pedal is still depressed.
