When the foot is removed from the brake, but before the accelator pedal is touched, there is a slight surge which is not normal or safe. Occasionally, it also occurs while the vehicle is in the highest gear.

Technician said he couldn't repeat it but it does it all the time. I asked if this was normal and they both weren't sure.…
