The stability control system frequently accelerates when braking on a manhole cover or a major pothole. The acceleration is hard and could easily cause the driver to rear-end the car in front. I'm aware of the issue and brake fully before such an obstacle if there is a stopped car in front, but I warn every other person who drives my vehicle because of the seriousness of the issue.
