Description of the problem | When the engine is cold, the idle speed is 1600 rpm when started. When placed in reverse or drive it reduces to a nominal 900-1000 rpm. When the vehicle starts to move it suddenly drops to 600 rpm. When braking to a stop after moving vehicle the rpm suddenly jumps to 900-1000 rpm just before vehicle halts. This causes sudden unexpected acceleration of the vehicle and presents a safety hazard. I believe this is due to an engine/transmission software issue. This has occurred since new.
