| Description of the problem | When switching from the brake to the accelerator, the vehicle surges forward. This happens after coming to a full stop and when switching from braking to acceleration at low speeds such as in city traffic. This issue happens randomly. Driver has been very aware of the amount of pressure applied to the accelerator and surging can occur with very little pressure. Because this occurs when moving forward at intersections, moving forward in heavy traffic, and while parking or leaving a parking slot, the chance of a collision is great. The most dangerous is to surge suddenly into an intersection when moving forward to see around obstacles blocking the driver's view of oncoming traffic. |
