Brakes problem
2004 Chevy Impala 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Once car is brought to a stop, then starting forward again it feels like getting hit in the rear end. I am thinking that a rear brake caliber is not releasing properly when foot comes off the brake. Any ideas?

Could be a binding caliper piston or a brake hose collasped internally acting like a one way check valve.
