Consumer Description

ON MANY OCCASIONS WHEN I WOULD STEP ON MY BRAKE, MY CAR WOULD JERK AND THRUST FORWARD AGGRESSIVELY. I'D HAVE TO STEP HARD ON MY BRAKE SO THE CAR WOULD NOT CATAPULT PAST A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS STRONGER THAN THE BRAKE AND OUT OF CONTROL. WHICH IS ALARMING BECAUSE I PICK UP MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER FROM DAYCARE AND BRING HER HOME. IT'S HAPPENED WHEN I TURN CORNERS OR COME TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.
