During anytime I apply the brakes to slow down to a complete stop, and finally stopped, when letting off the brake to accelerate again there seems to be a very big thump/bumping type of noise. Seems to be in rear but definitely underneath the vehicle. Not sure if it is directly in rear but the feel seems to travel the rear of vehicle. Please give insight on a possible diagnosis. Thank you.

These had a problem with the front driveshaft yoke making that noise. They make a replacement for it that takes care of it if that's your problem and it sound like it may be
