Hi, when it am sitting in my car and the engine is idling(such as the carpool lane), the back of the car will suddenly push forward like someone is pushing my car from behind. It freaks me out as I think I am being hit from behind and scares me. It will usually happen just one time after idling about 10 minutes or so. Has anyone else experienced this? I think I will call the dealer tomorrow.

Hi there,

I would just pop into the dealer and have them give it a quick look. Explain to them exactly what is happening. It sounds like timing is off at idle, maybe the timing belt needs to be tweaked a bit or some minor tuning needs to be done. My sister had a similar problem in her BMW X1 and it ended up being the timing belt.

Thank you, I will. Glad to hear it isn't just me.

Hopefully the dealer will be able to resolve this issue of yours in good timing, keep us posted on how things go as you take it in.
