Description of the problem	I was driving slowly around a rotary, and took my foot off accelerator to drift a bit to allow a preceding car to enter. When i pressed the gas pedal gently, there was a sudden violent kick which frightened both me and my wife. (i believe the transmission had shifted in low, but it was as if we had been hit in the rear with a large slapping hand!) i had to react quickly to avoid being driven into the car ahead by this sudden small burst of speed. An accident could easily have otherwise taken place. The transmission has always been erratic at times since we purchased the car, but this was the worst thing that has happened. I have had the latest computer upgrade on this problem installed, and it was within 1 day after that this took place. I had read all of the nhtsa safety reports on this car, and there have been many similar. In my mind there is a serious safety problem which needs addressing. (a similar but much less violent series of incidents have occurred when in cruise control going somewhat uphill, when it downshifts and the car speeds up noticeably and in some cases so much so that i have to take it out of cruise for a bit) such unpredictability makes both my wife and i feel unsafe in this car at those times. *jb
