Consumer Description

While driving between 30-45 MPH the engine RPM’s will start bouncing by around 500 RPM’s up and down. Usually on flat to slight grade with RPM’s in the area of 1500. The engine will bounce between 1200 up to 1800 RPM’s. Vehicle has 52,000 miles, just started in last couple thousand miles. Doing a Google search I found numerous complaints of same issue. This is a safety issue when the engine will unexpectedly surge or slow down.
