Consumer Description

STARTING AT THIS DATE: ITS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE WHILE DRIVING WHEN NEEDING TO APPLY MY BRAKES SUDDENLY. I APPLY THE BRAKES, MEDIUM HARD TENSION, OPPOSED TO JAMMING ON THE BRAKES, THEN MOMENTARILY LET OFF BRAKES AND THEN TAPED BRAKES TO MORE GENTLY EASE OFF THE SITUATION. THE CAR THEN BUCKS VIOLENTLY AS IF HITTING SOMETHING. EXTREMELY SHOCKING. ONE TIME I HAD A PASSENGER AND AS SHE WAS SHOCKED TOO, ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING? I REPLIED, "NOTHING, THE CAR DID IT! I READ ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE I DESCRIBE. *TR
