WHEN AMBIENT TEMP IS BELOW FREEZING AND VEHICLE IS COLD THE ENGINE REVS UP FROM BELOW 1000 RPM TO NEARLY 1500 RPM WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE WANTS TO LURCH FORWARD. I MUST BE ON THE BRAKE TO PREVENT LURCHING FORWARD. IT REVS UP AS THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING. DEALER SAYS IT IS NORMAL. THIS IS NONSENSE.
