VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DURING A VERY HEAVY RAIN, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL AT 40MPH. WITH A CONSTANT PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN LOSING POWER AND SLIGHTLY DECELERATED. I INCREASED THE FOOT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE THEN 'WOUND UP' AND A HIGH PITCHED, CONSTANT WHINE CAME FROM IT. AT THE CREST OF THE HILL, THE RPMS DROPPED, THE WHINE CEASED, AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED ITS NORMAL ACCELERATION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT, I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE AROUND THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT AREA. IT SOUNDED LIKE METAL BANGING ON METAL. IT STOPPED AFTER A FEW SECONDS. EARLIER IN THE EVENING, MY WIFE HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME HEAVY RAIN AND NOTED THE SAME PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A LEVEL ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ON 2/14, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ENGINE PROBLEM, NOR SAW ANY LOOSE COMPONENTS ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. *AK
