I’ve see this happen several times over the past few years and I’ve reached the point where I can’t ignore it anymore, and I need explore the issue.
Occasionally, and seemingly under no particular circumstances, the following will happen:
While the vehicle is running, in Park, one or several chimes will sound (the kind that are usually accompanied by a light on the dash). No light appears. The idle starts surging up and down a few hundred RPM, and the speedometer starts bouncing from 0-20ish MPH. Put it in gear, or turn it off and back on, and it stops acting up.
Not sure what to make of it. Definitely seems electrical, and so I thought maybe the TIPM might just be having a spasm.
I’d really like to hear if anyone else has experienced this.
