Description of the problem	A few months after purchase, while driving the car, all of the dash indicator lights came on and the display flashed "brake override malfunction, see dealer." the brake and the gas were not being used at the same time. Shortly thereafter, while stopped at a light with a foot firmly on the brake, the brakes disengaged and the car lurched forward about a foot before the brakes engaged again. The dash lights stayed illuminated the remainder of the trip. After taking it to the dealer, they reset the computer and returned the car. While driving it home from the dealer, the same problem reoccurred. The dealer then replaced the master cylinder and claimed the problem was fixed. A few months later, the same problem reoccurred. Once started, the problem occurs every time the vehicle is driven. After driving for a few moments, the dash lights illuminate, the error message pops up, and the car unexpectedly lurches whenever stopped. This happens whether driving in the city or on the highway (though obviously the lurching only happens when the brakes are engaged).
