WHILE SLOWLY MAKING A TURN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE MY CAR SURGED FORWARD. I TRIED TO CONTROL THE CAR BY PUSHING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD WITHOUT SUCCESS. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING ONLY BY PUTTING IT ON PARK. THE SURGE WAS VERY SUDDEN AND UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS IS SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
