Driving a rental 2010 corolla in tucson. As i was braking to a stop at traffic light, the car suddenly surged ahead. Fortunately i was far enough from the vehicle stopped in front of me to stand hard on the brake and bring the car to a stop. Scary!!. Floor mats were properly secured and no where near the pedal area. Never experienced anything like this before. Toyota has a problem way beyond floor mats. *tr
