Since vehicle was purchased, when shifting from park to reverse or drive, the vehicle will lunge back or forward, even with brakes applied. Have had to push brake pedal harder than what is normal to prevent this from happening. Dealer "could not duplicate problem" when car was under warranty. Car is now out of warranty and I was told the throttle body needs replacement.
