MY CAR HESITATED FROM A STOP SIGN, THEN LAUNCHED FORWARD CAUSING IT TO UNCONTROLLABLY JUMP FORWARD VERY FAST. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES THEY FAILED TO ACTIVE, AND HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE. THE CAR HAS HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TCM ON MY DCT TRANSMISSION BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO BE FIXED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH.

AT APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES CURRENTLY AND PROPER DOCUMENTED MAINTENANCE AND CHECK REQUESTS ON VEHICLE, THIS CAR APPEARS TO NOT STOP AS IT SHOULD WHILE IN MOTION WHETHER AT HIGH SPEEDS OR LOW SPEEDS AND "SURGES" AND REQUIRES A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH IS APPARENT IN ANY DRIVING WEATHER CONDITIONS. NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF BRAKE WEAR OR REPLACEMENT NEEDS. NO INDICATOR SOUNDS.
