Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While entering my garage at a slow rate of speed and my foot on the brake, the car suddenly surged forward. this has happened 3 or 4 times when coming to a red light or stopped vehicles over the course of the year. i remember the audi that had the same problem. i really thought i'd end up in my living room. i quickly put the car in neutral on all occasions. it seems like the transmission isn't dropping down to it's low range. help. *ak
