Consumer Description

3.5L V6, LIMITED EDITION, EXTENDED CAB, 4X4, AUTOMATIC, 1200 MILES ON ODOMETER. DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH ON SNOW COVERED ROAD IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. ENGINE NOT COMPLETELY WARMED UP AND OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE 9 DEGREES. SUDDENLY ENGINE REVVED UP WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE WENT INTO A SIDEWAYS SLIDE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. REVVING LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN CAME BACK TO NORMAL RPM'S. I GOT VEHICLE BACK IN CONTROL BUT THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION WAS AN EYE OPENER AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THERE WERE NO ONCOMING VEHICLES. VEHICLE WILL ALSO HESITATE WHEN COLD WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VICE VERSA. IT TENDS TO LUNGE IN EITHER DIRECTION DEPENDING ON WHICH GEAR IT IS IN AND HAVING YOUR FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT FROM TAKING OFF ON YOU ONCE IT DECIDES TO GO INTO GEAR.
