[Offcamber]

Well, I've had my "new to me" '07, Black Cherry, 4xAuto, Canadian C package for a couple of weeks and it's way cool. But I've noticed that at stoplights the thing lurches forward after being stopped about oh.. 15 or 20 seconds.
I first noticed this behaviour with my wife's Matrix. The service tech said "may be it's the A/C kicking in."
Nope! that ain't it.
Any body else have this behaviour?
Is the tranny just dropping into first after a while?
Ya really gotta have your foot on the braker fer sure.. it's kinda spooky..

What goes up..must come down... hopefully on the rubber side.

Most people have said it's the transmission going back to first. Someone termed it the "FJ Lunge."

Are you in defrost mode? If so, it is the idle step up when the AC compressor kicks in. I have 23K on my AT and I have only noticed this when the AC cycles--even then , it has not been particullary noticable.
Maybe it is just the high quality canada petrol!

Welcome to the forum and your FJ!

[FJDave]

Ditto. Just keep that foot planted firmly on the brake pedal.

never had it nor have i ever felt it......thinks you are all smoking crack and drinking mushroom tea while wearing birchenstock sandals therefore not getting a good downward pressure on the brake pedal and limp-ankling it...LMAO

 

[DMAND]

Yes, AT. Mine does it too. AC or some other system kicking in and picking up idle a bit. Never as noticable in any other vehicle I have had, but I think of it as normal.

 

[FJchema]

mine does it too. at first i was concerned about it. but then again, it doesn't do it all the time.
