Unit will lurch forward when in thre air and reach being used.

I have a Raymond ET-R40TT, serial number ET-12-FD20971with 6200 hr on it. Every once in a while, it will lurch forward when the operator has the forks almost fully in the air and usually when reaching in or out. I've replaced the handle on it but it is still doing it. Has anyone heard of this before and could it be a software issue? I have never actually had the problem occur for me, and any checks I do turn out okay.
