He never replied so perhaps he had a serious accident on the way to the dealer.

I have a 2017, and it just happened. My car swerved toward the cars on the left and all I could do was force it back and stomp on the brakes. It was so fast I could have really been hurt bad. It scared me to death! What did you find about this?

Sounds like a scene from a film based on Back To The Future and Christine.

I had a vacuum leak years back. It would cause my car to idle faster than norman,then idle slower than normal. Rpm's just kept going back and forth while sitting at traffic lights. Fixed the vacuum leak and been trouble free for years now. Squirrel Crusher

I can believe that, it happened to me once the other winter, it took me a while to realize that I still had my snow shoes on.
