There's a lot of (kinetic) energy in a moving car, and that energy has to be gotten rid of. And that just can't happen instantly, it has to be a gradual thing. A car stopping in an instant would be like you jumping off a chair and trying to land with your legs held straight. Instant pain. OTOH if you bend your knees and stop gradually all is fine.
Check that you rpm is dropping back down as soon as you release the gas pedal. If not, its a sticky Throttle Body (really bad) if it does drop then make sure that next to the throttle body is protruding anything out to stop it from going all the way down, and make sure the idle isn't too high, because if it idles high, its the same as pressing the gas pedal.
When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, it stops due to the frictional force between the brake pads and the wheels. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat, gradually reducing its speed and bringing it to a stop.
You need new brakes!
there may be a problem with the torque converter or there is a short in a wire some where
If the back dash light will light when the brakes are applied but the two tail lights will not light up, there is probably a short in the wiring somewhere. It could also be that the fuse for the brake lights is burned out.
The principle you're referring to is known as inertia, which is described by Newton's First Law of Motion. This law states that an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. When brakes are applied, the force begins to slow the car down, but due to inertia, the car continues to move forward for a short distance until the friction from the brakes fully counteracts its motion. This is why it’s important to maintain a safe following distance, as a vehicle will not stop immediately upon braking.
If you have a trailer wiring harness it probably has a short in it and is back feeding the circuit when the brakes are applied remove and replace the trailer harness and this should fix the problem.
it sounds like you may have a short somewhere in your lighting wiring. its grounding out and stalling the motor.
There's a short to ground in the brake light circuit. When you step on the brakes, it diverts all the power in the car to ground, and stops the engine.
If a calliper is "hanging", it could be causing the brake pads to press against the rotor and overheat the brakes. You may want to see if the calliper is dragging.
Sounds like a short, But it could be the break light switch.
