| Description of the problem | In very cold weather, which we have had plenty of recently, and i make a gradual stop from a speed of 45+ mph, there is a split-second surge forward followed by a hard stop "bump" when the car comes to a final stop that is the best way to describe it, the road surface is not slick, nor am i making a sudden stop. The problem does not happen in temps above freezing, nor does braking seem impaired. I am somewhat unnerved by the momentary surge forward followed by the sudden bump that feels like i hit a curb. |
