“When I'm at a stop my car suddenly jumps forward when I have my foot on the brake this is a ongoing issue. It's scary cause I feel like I'm going to hit something or someone if I'm at a stop light and someone is crossing the street my car could jump and hit them. I do not drive this vehicle no more cause of this. It also happens when I'm driving it picks up speed on it's own. This happens when ever the car is driven anywhere.”
