| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Car surges (suddenly increases speed) in reverse 10-30 seconds following cold start. This occurs during slow, brake controlled, backing from my home garage. When surge occurs, tachometer goes up a few hundred rpm and i have to quickly apply more pressure to the brakes to keep the car from surging back and going out of control or hitting something. The a/c-heater is not turned on when problem occurs so it does not appear to be the a/c solenoid increasing the engine rpm. The cruise control is off. This condition is very dangerous, especially if you haven't been prepared to expect it. This problem happens every time i start the car cold. I have estimated the number of incidents below and have provided today's date as the latest date of incident. I only have information on this happening in "reverse" because every time i start my car cold, it is in the garage and i have to back out. *jb see also 10295531, same complainant. * dsy |
