Consumer Description

MANY TIMES WHEN I OR MY WIFE HAVE PRESSED THE BRAKES THE VAN SURGES FORWARD OR LUNGES FORWARD. VERY SCARY. HAPPENS A LOT. IT FEELS LIKE WHEN WE PRESS THE BRAKES THE ELECTRIC ENGINE JUST FOR SOME REASON TURNS ON AND PUSHES THE VAN FORWARD, FIGHTING THE BRAKES. IT IS CRAZY. HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
