While braking and in a slight turn the vehicle lunges forward. I have learned to compensate for this but prior to compensating I was involved in a rear end crash that was the result of this defect. I was stopped behind this person when she pulled forward. I started pulling forward and she slammed on the brakes. I attempted to stop and the vehicle lunged forward striking her vehicle. The person rear ended claimed no injuries as well as uninjured children properly restrained in the vehicle. She was fully ambulating without complaint. She is now claiming injuries and filed a lawsuit.
