| Description of the problem | No unusual sounds or check engine noticed with the following: 1) while sitting in cramped traffic, i let off the brake pedal to inch forward a few feet while riding the brake. Rms dropped to 500 for every instance and car began to shutter. 2) coming to stop lights/signs. After traveling a distance of about 1/8-1/4 mile @30-40 mph, the deceleration caused the rpm to drop to 500 and the vehicle began to shutter as i reached the stopping point. I noticed this every now and then. I cannot replicate, however i was able to record the rpm drop on two occasions within 5 min of each other. 3) shuttering that occurs at low speeds is felt at higher speeds (50+). Feel the shuttering as if transmission was trying to get to next gear, but it holds steady and vibrates. Not able to replicate. Very uncomfortable ride. 4) at random periods of just waiting in the car with it running, will feel surge as rpms drop for an instance. Took vehicle in based on complaints. Service center initiated the car to "re-learn" idle. Issue 1, no longer a problem thus far. Issue 2, still an issue. Issue 3 still an issue. Issue 4, still an issue. Taking it back to same dealer again, and another dealer for a 2nd service team diagnostics. |
