My car jumps forward when I brake or I'm about to come to a complete stop. Not sure why but could it be something with the transmission or engine? I just bought the car not that long ago and want to see if this is normal. I have never owned or driven a hybrid before til this one. Please help!

First thing I would do is get the computer (OB2) scanned. This will make it easier to help in the diagnosis. Most auto part stores will do this for free. When you get the codes, write them down and let me know what they are. There are many problems that could create this symptom and without speculating for hours let's try this out first and I'll be happy to help you out in finding the problem.

Thanks, look forward to your reply
