When I first start the car and leave the driveway, it will 'power down' and almost stop, then surge forward to the point that I have to brake. This happens every time. If I let it warm up for 10 or 15 minutes, it seems to help control the 'surging' This is hazardous to cars in front of me if I can't control the forward surge of the car with the brakes.
