OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I'VE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP A LITTLE WHEN SHIFTED INTO GEAR. OCCASIONALLY, THE SAME LITTLE LURCH WOULD HAPPEN AT A STOPLIGHT. TODAY, WHILE STOPPED AT IDLE THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY REVVED OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT 10 SECONDS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD EVEN WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED. SHORTLY AFTER, A SIMILAR PROBLEM OCCURRED, BUT NOT AS PRONOUNCED AS THE PREVIOUS EVENT. AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ENGINE SEEMED TO HAVE DEGRADED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SEVERAL ERROR CODES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOW REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 48,000.*AK
