This happened to me a few times shortly after I got the car. I now have about 4k miles on it and it has not happened recently. I wonder if this goes away after "breaking in" the vehicle?

hmm interesting, i noticed this happened to me one time. i was parked on an up-ramp at my work's parking garage perpendicular to the slope. thought it was just me, but i guess it wasn't. will make a mental note if it happens again.

I think this is a problem, not a driver issue. I had this happen to me yesterday (first time in 1,200 miles). I was backing out of a parking stall and I could not gracefully put the brakes on. No problems in forwards. I got home and tried reverse and there were no problems.

One thing I distinctly noticed when it happend... normally I get a faint grinding feel/noise when I back up from the friction brakes. When it happened, there was none of that. It almost seems to me that the friction brakes were NOT working and the braking came from the motor. I know the regen braking isn't suppose to happen at slow speeds but that is what is seems like to me. Just something to be aware of next time it happens.

Yes this has happened to me also and it is scary, about to take it to the service center.

It happened to me when going forward yesterday, makes me feel very uncomfortable using the brakes.

Yes, this happened to me, too, a couple times, when backing up in my driveway after just starting the car. I initially thought it might have something to do with the ICE kicking in. It was definitely a scary feeling to feel the car lurch when gently putting on the brakes. It hasn't happened in awhile but I am going to pay close attention if it does happen again, seeing that it is happening to a lot of you. This can't be normal!

Yes, I've had the reverse jerking while braking a couple of times now. And I can be very gentle on the brake pedal so I know it wasn't simply the drivers club footed technique. Next time it occurs I'll try the mentioned remedies.

+1 on the grippy brakes at 1100 miles. Happened coming out of a driveway that was at a ~10 degree incline.

So far it has happened only once.

Wow, had this happened to me once. I thought it was just me but finally someone posted this and now everybody comes forward. This problem isn't that bad, just that it makes you look silly when backing out of the parking lot.
