The problem
Upon startup, a voltage drop to the engine control module can cause a malfunction where engine speed fluctuates from 600 to 3,000 RPM for up to 30 seconds before normal engine idle of 900 RPM.
The risk
Unexpected movement of the vehicle May cause the driver to lose control and increase the potential of a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will install a new revised electronic control module.
