Q: During acceleration, the car behaves as if the brakes are being applied.
A few days ago, I got the battery changed for my car, and while I was leaving the parking lot, I noticed that my car took a brake. I took my foot off, thinking I had accidentally stepped on the brake but it was on the gas. It acted as if the brakes were being applied, but the engine itself made this happen.
My car has an automatic transmission.
