    ...noticed on several occasions when i slow down over a bump or pothole, the car will suddenly accelerate and jerk foward causing me to press down on my brakes even harder.

    Anyone else experience something like this? It's kind of hard to explain..

    Is this a serious post, or are you pulling our legs?

    This issue has been talked about in so many threads and posts that there is no possible way that you could have missed it.
