Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE, BUT I PUT IN TODAY'S DATE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LET YOU LEAVE IT BLANK. WHENEVER I HAVE TO GO UP A RAMP OR OVERPASS,IF I HAVE TO WAIT ON THE INCLINE PART DUE TO TRAFFIC OR A REDLIGHT, AFTER BEING ON THE BRAKE FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF TO GO FORWARD THE CAR ALWAYS ROLLS BACKWARDS AND WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS A LITTLE TO GO FORWARD AS NOT TO ROLL BACK THE CAR DOESN'T GO SMOOTHLY IT SURGES AND YOU HAVE BE IN CONTROL OF THE BRAKE OR YOU'LL ROLL BACK AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR SURGE TOO FAR FORWARD. I'M ALWAYS AFRAID WHEN I HAVE TO BE ON SOME OVERPASS AND HAVE TO WAIT TO GO BECAUSE THE LONGER THE WAIT THEN I KNOW FOR SURE THAT AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO GO FORWARD THE CAR IS GOING TO START TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND IT'S REALLY SCARY. IF I HAVE TO GO UP A RAMP IN A PARKING GARAGE AND IF THERE IS A LINE THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN IT'S MY TURN TO GO THEN IT SURGES FORWARD. EVEN ON A REGULAR FLAT STREET, AFTER HAVING YOUR FOOT ON THE BREAK WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO THIS CAR SURGES FORWARD WITH A JOLT . I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE CAR ROLLING BACKWARDS, BUT IT'S A BIG PROBLEM. IS THIS A PROBLEM WITH MOST CARS OR IS THIS A DEFECT? I NEED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM OF ROLLING BACK AND THEN THE CAR JOLTING FORWARD. *TR
