Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Intermittently, when applying the brakes to stop for a red light, the engine wants to keep the vehicle going at the same speed and fights the brake so the vehicle cannot stop. Shifting the gear shift into neutral allows the brakes to work but the engine rpm revs up to 2500 rpm for about 15 seconds before dropping to idle. If the driver didn't apply the brakes hard enough or shift into neutral, the vehicle would overpower the brakes and drive into anything ahead. Analogy: it acts as if the cruise control was on (and it's not) and tried to keep the same forward speed no matter the brake application. Dealer cannot reproduce the problem, no alert warning light. Some times, going at highway speed, taking foot off accelerator and expecting vehicle to start slowing down, it stays at same speed for about 15 seconds before dropping rpms. This has been happening, intermittently, for a few months. |
