| 1. while highway cruising at constant speed, engine suddenly dropped to idle speed and vehicle slowed rapidly, until gas pedal was lifted and pressed down again. engine hesitated and surged. processed kept repeating at variable intervals. 2. transmission intermittently hesitates excessively on first to second upshift while engine drops to idle speed. both problems are intermittent, neither is regular or constant. dealer says nothing wrong and no fault codes are recorded. problem #1 is very infrequent . problem #2 much more common. both might be related to summer temperatures, especially #1. | |||
