Sometimes when I drive my car it brakes by itself. When I leave for work in the morning, I back out of the driveway and put the car in drive, the car will go a few feet and then the brake goes on. To keep moving, I need to give it a little extra gas. The engine revs loudly. Then at the corner of my block, which is approximately 500 feet from my driveway, I brake for the stop sign. When I go around the corner the car goes a few feet and brakes itself again. I have to push down on the gas again and get the revving. Next the traffic light. It's about 1/4 mile from the corner. If the light is green, I have no problem. If I have to stop, I have the same problem as at the driveway and stop sign. I drive about another 500 ft and make a left turn stopping at the bottom of a small hill. And yes, when I attempt to make the next left turn, the car will go a few feet and then brake. After that, even with another stop coming up, I have no more problems, but will have them again after my car has been idle for my 12-hour work shift.

Two things, one: the braking isn't so bad that I get thrown forward too hard, just a quick jerk, and two: I don't have to stomp on the gas to get the car moving again, just give it a little something extra. Just another thing I've thought of, I don't have a garage for my car. It sits out but this problem has happened in both cold, warm, hot, sunny, cloudy or rainy weather. I reported this problem to my mechanic, but it didn't happen for him since I had already driven the car to his shop. I worry I'll get be rear ended. I hope this makes sense.
