Hello - I'm looking for some insight on a problem - starting last summer, if I drive at highway speed for at least say, 10 to 20 min, then slow down to city driving, the GN acts erratic. It feels like the tranny is acting up, but of course that isn’t always the cause. If I tap the gas, it acts like it’s in 2nd gear and will jerk the car (TCC?) . I get a bit of that ‘fishbiting’ feel, and if I try to accelerate, the kick down isn’t where I am used to feeling it (seems to bog a bit and then kick down more abruptly. )
If the car sits for a while and cools off, it’s back to normal and I can drive in the city with no issues – it’s only once I’m at highway speed and then switch to city that it shows up. (I had the tranny fluid flushed last summer, I think after this problem started)
Another new thing since I got it out this April is some feedback I’m getting from the brake petal when stopped – not all the time, it comes and goes and just seems present when the car isn’t actually moving – and I see the brake lights are flickering in time with the pulse from the petal. I’ve had good luck with the car over the past 13 years – I think the only brake part I had to replace was the black accumulator that screws on horizontally (if I’m remembering the part name right).
Any thoughts from the experts would be greatly appreciated!
I lost the only mechanic around here who had some GN experience.
