Consumer Description

I BEGAN NOTICING A FAIRLY CONSISTENT "SURGE" IN THE VEHICLE JUST AFTER PLACING IT IN GEAR (FORWARD OR REVERSE) AT AN IDLE STATE. JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, YOU FEEL A SUDDEN LUNGE BUT SINCE YOUR FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, IT IS EASILY CONTROLLED AND THE SURGE IN RPMS IS VERY BRIEF (LESS THAN TWO SECONDS). THIS OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND IS TYPICALLY NOTICED WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE WHEN THE ENGINE IS IDLING AND JUST AFTER BEING PLACED INTO GEAR. AGAIN, THIS LUNGE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR SINCE I FIRST NOTICED IT LAST JUNE.
