Owner report 10595287 · 2014-05-31 (May 31, 2014)

CAR IS STOPPED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, A/C IS ON. UPON RELEASING BRAKE BEFORE PLACING FOOT ON GAS THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. THE ENGINE RPM MEASURED AT DEALER WAS 640 TO 670. A REQUEST TO INCREASE IDLE RPM TO 700/750 WAS DENIED. THE ANSWER WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALER THAT RPM IS NOT ADJUSTABLE. MY CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY OF HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME OR HITTING A PEDESTRIAN THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME. *TR
