Robot loosing communication when switching directions

We've been fixing up last years robot and discovered a strange issue with our motors. Whenever we suddenly switch directions on our motors (i.e. full positive to full negative or switching rotation directions), our robot suddenly loses all communication with our classmate and the robot stops moving. The wires are still secure so it cannot be those getting loose. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be and any possible solutions? Thanks
