Title: Slight pull back when coasting
Post by: adekil on 22 August 2014, 11:27
I've noticed a few times recently that when in 4th gear doing around 40mph or so that if I take my foot off the accelerator to coast as I'm approaching the car in front I feel a very slight pull back in the car, the same feeling you get when changing gear in an automatic, but not so obvious.

I don't think the gear or speed is a factor here but anyone else experienced this? It is very slight and like I said has only happened a few times lately

Is that with cruise on? It'll probably be the radar sensing you are getting too close (for its liking) to the car in front and braking a little for you.

No, don't use cruise control. Its a sudden momentary stutter and certainly no breaking involved.

Might be engine suspension failing? That would cause the engine to move when you ease on the throttle. Sometimes when I am stopped at a traffic light and I rev up the engine I can feel it moving slightly

no if it was the same as mine it only happens whilst moving, mostly in 4th mostly when im going down a hill, hence the lifting off but never stationary. more like a wierd engine breaking pull on the car but only for a split second and in complete silence...

In my case imagine a strong gust of wind hitting the car and thats the feeling I get
