WHEN THE CAR DOESN'T START IN DRIVE I HAVE TO SWITCH GEARS TO NEUTRAL. INORDER TO SWITCH GEARS I HAVE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE. ONCE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND I RELEASE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE, THERE HAS BEEN 4 TIMES WHEN THE CAR JUST SHOT FORWARD. MY FIRST REACTION IS TO STEP ON THE BRAKES. THERE HAS BEEN NO INJURIES INVLOVED, JUST SEVERE NERVOUSNESS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS REALLY ANYTHING WRONG, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN CHECKED. I JUST STAY PREPARED TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES.
