I am also having the same problem with my 2017 Acura ILX. When slowing down and about to stop the car suddenly lunges forward and I feel like I got rear ended. Is this a defect and/or is there a fix?

fyi, here at Car Talk forums we’re not able to see the post to which you refer.

As far as what’s causing the car to lunge forward when about to stop, could be  
some sort of transmission/torque convertor problem. Any difference to what you feel/hear when you shift from D to N slightly before this happens?
