Yeah, mine does this every once in a while too. It actually DID result in a
fender bender for me. I was towing my buddy's boat while negotiating some
parked cars. I put her in reverse, let off the brake, and then went down a
slight hill a couple inches into the side of some construction workers little
Sunfire. He was pissed! Dak unscaved. Caught fish all day around the bridge
he was working on too. Damn the automatic.
