“When trying to come to a stop the vehicle seems to suddenly accelerate right before stopping. The vehicle is going less than 5 MPH and it quickly lunges forward right before it gets completely stopped. Has done this on at least 3 different occasions. If I had been very close to the car/object in front of me I might have hit it.”
