ON SATURDAY, MAY 30, 2015, I EXPERIENCED THREE ANOMALIES WITH MY FX35, DURING TWO CYCLES (ENGINE OFF). THE WEATHER WAS FAIR, WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGH SEVENTIES. AT ABOUT 10AM, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN THE GARAGE, IT HAD AN UNUSUALLY HIGH RPM WHICH I NOTICED AS IT WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE SO I COULD PULL OUT. I ALWAYS BACK MY VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE, SO IT LUNGED FORWARD WITH A STRONG JERK. ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD, I HEADED TO COSTCO IN STERLING VA AND HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS FOR THE TIME BEING. …

Owner report 11439080 · 2021-11-02 (November 2, 2021)
