Will Stay There For A Good 8-10 Minutes, If I Had The Patience To Sit There & Burn Gas. Even In 60+ Degree Weather. Galls Me To Put It In Reverse At Such High Rpm's. I Expect The Auto Trans To Blow Up Any Day. Dealer People Hem & Haw "this Is Probably Normal". Is It???
Also, Was Worried About Braking Ability (lots Of Foot Pressure-slow To Stop). Again, Dealer People Drove It Said Brakes Fine. Felt A Small Ridge In Lf Rotor, Had Them Turn Front Rotors & New Pads. Stops Much Better With Less Pedal Pressure, But Pedal Travel Seems Excessive Before Brakes Start To Hold. This Normal? My First Vehicle With Abs.
Any Help/suggestions Greatlyappreciated!

Wow - first I've heard of that one - but it's gotta be something in the ECU that's keeping it so high - or some sensor is blown I'd guess. As far as the brakes go, they shouldn't be mushy like that either - doesn't have anything to do with the ABS unless you jam it to a skid.
Sorry - I'm not a mechanic, just try to direct folks to common known issues/problems. If anyone else here has experienced this - please speak up and offer some help!
