| Description of the problem | Whenever i am stopped and put my foot on the accelerator, the car shoots forward rapidly. This does not happen when the car is already in motion--only when resuming travel after stopping at a stop sign, or when i first get into the car and begin travel. I am conscious of this and really try to ease down on the accelerator, but i still notice a sudden increase in speed, one i have never experienced before in other cars i have owned (i am in my 60s and have owned and driven many vehicles.) i am concerned about this for safety reasons in a busy intersection and also don't want to cause my passengers or myself whiplash or discomfort with a sudden start. |
