Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "SURGING" PROBLEM BEING INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE SPACE AND THE ENGINE SURGED AND LURCHED BACKWARDS INTO THE DRIVING AREA. I PUT IT INTO PARK AND NOTICED THE ENGINE RPMS GOING UP AND DOWN INSTEAD OF STAYING CONSTANT WHILE IDLING, THEN IT EVENED OUT. I TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR SURGED AGAIN (I WAS READY FOR IT THIS TIME AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN) AND WAS ABLE TO BACK OUT OF THE SPACE AND DRIVE NORMALLY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN DOING IT. *TR
