Exclamation car wants to drive off.....by itself!?

hey guys

so like i said the car wants to drive off by itself!!!!

from time to time, my car jumps like i physically press the gas? by jumps i mean jumps to 2000 or 3000 RPM!!

just now, when i put it on "N" mode (without doing anything) i can see the RPM jumps to 3000 and return to normal, and when i put it on "D" same thing....thank god there was no cars in front of me

anyone had this problem before? it rarely happens BUT it's kinda annoying, it's like there is a ghost in the car or something lol

i noticed something, happens only when the weather is a little bit cold, like now 15'C.

Yep, thats just its way to warm itself up faster.... if you turn your car on and its "icy" outside then it will automatically idol at higher rpms.. and the "jump" happens to me aswell. i think its when it downshifts into first too early and has to blip the throttle.. but im not sure

yeah but can you tell me what's the problem????

and my car is US spec so the ECU is totally different than the middle east spec.....the dealer told me: we can fix hardware parts..etc but stuff like electric things would be difficult.

i put the ICY mode "ON" , so if i turned it OFF the problem will go away!??

But anyway, I've heard of some RPM surging problem before. Could be that. Dealer should be able to take care of it.

I think this is part of the Japanese conspiracy to "sudden accelerate" all of the autos imported here (and Dubai) starting with Toyota and now Infiniti.
