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.
