This. Is. SCARY! I have had numerous occasions where I am braking and once it hits a certain MPH say under 25, the car gets this spurt of speed and JOLTS FORWARD! Thankfully I am not the kind of idiot that rides on other driver's bumpers, however should there be a need to suddenly reduce my speed, the last thing I need is for that extra speed to turn my almost close-call by 2 feet to turn into an "Oh crap" moment because my car decided to climb onto the car ahead.
