| Description of the problem | While sitting still at a red light with my foot on the brake and the gear in drive, the car will suddenly lurch forward several feet. It happens with such force that it feels like i was rear-ended. This has happened occasionally since i purchased the car in january 2016. Always when at a full stop on flat and sloped surfaces. At first i thought it only happened when the ac was on, but it has happened with the ac off. |
