“At a stop light/sign with my foot on the brake the car will start to shake/lunge forward like the car is trying to go but cant because my foot is on the brake. It will happen within a mile after starting and driving my car and when it starts to shake it will last maybe 5 seconds. It happens 2 or 3 times a week especially when its cold outside.”
NHTSA complaint #10706393, filed 2015-04, 608 miles“Twice in one month the car engine shut off while I was driving. Power steering was also lost. Mileage approx. 31,000.

Took my foot off the brake and stepped on the gas and nothing happened, so I put it in park and restarted it and it seemed fine after that. …”
