| Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway with my daughter and my dog with me and had the cruise control set to 75 mph. There is a part of the highway where the speed limit drops to 65 mph so i slowed the vehicle down to 64 mph when it suddenly revved up to 5000 rpms and hit 75 mph again. The car has been surging lately but i thought it was from the weather getting colder. The car accelerating on its own going down the highway, especially to 5000 rpms, i know is not just the weather. There is something wrong and i have only made 1 payment on it about to pay my 2nd one. I just bought this car august 21, 2019 so this should not be happening already. Also there is a rattling in the engine. |
