Re: car randomly lunges forward while slowing to a stop. this does not occur every time i come to a stop. it is an unexpected event that happens from time to time while slowing for a stop sign, stop light or just to stop period that this car seems to lunge forward like i'm accelerating which i do then the gears adjust down but only when applying more pressure on breaking. there have been a few times since i have had this car where i almost ran into the back of the car in front of me due to this.
