| Description of the problem | While waiting at a stop light behind traffic, my car suddenly surged. I was just sitting there with my foot on the brake. I thought someone had hit me from behind, but when i looked up there was no car behind me. Luckily, i did not hit the car in front of me and had pushed harder on the brake when i felt the surge. I did report this when i took my car in to be serviced, orr toyota, searcy, arkansas. They told me to tell them if this happens again. So far it has never happened again. |
