Consumer Description

WHEN I PRESS BRAKE ON THE BUMPED ROAD, THE CAR FUNCTION WEIRD AND SEEMS LIKE IT HAS SUDDEN "SHOCK" SO IT IS KIND OF LOSING CONTROL FOR THE CAR EVEN I DIDN'T PRESS BRAKE THAT HARD, IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY DURING THE COURSE OF 7 YEARS THAT I OWNED THIS CAR, EVEN WHEN CAR IS NEW. I WAS SO SCARED AND NERVOUS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND DID MENTIONED TO DEALER BEFORE. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. BUT I GUESS I AM KIND OF CAUTIOUS ON WHEN I PRESS PEDAL WHEN I DRIVE. THIS IS MOSTLY HAPPEN IN LOCAL DRIVE, NOT HIGHWAY. IN DRIVING WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, MAYBE THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE ROAD, BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS AS IT IS VERY SCARY AND IT'S LIKE A SUDDEN "JERKY". MY NAME IS [XXX] IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES DURING THE PAST 7 YEARS TO ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
