| Description of the problem | When the vehicle hits a bump, rock or uneven road while decelerating, the vehicle suddenly accelerates. It feels like when you skip a step. I have had the vehicle since december 2012 and this has happened enough times that i do not think its fortuitous. The sudden acceleration makes the car travel a couple of feet.
