2004 Nissan Armada drivetrain & axles problems

I applied my brakes and stopped 10 feet behind a pick-up at traffic light. The car surged forward. I pushed on the brakes harder, stopped then the car surged again hitting the pick-up twice each time after stopping when pushing harder on the brakes. It is only after putting in neutral that it allowed me to control it and pull over to exchange driver information. The same happened while waiting to fill-up with gas in march 2018. I almost hit a small car. I put it into park at which time the shifter cable broke.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan armada. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the transmission failed to shift into reverse. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact notice that there was oil leaking from the vehicle. The contact added oil and attempted to drive the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted, however, the failure recurred.
