The car has such awesome power that it's hard to keep it under control.

Mine only does it when the A/C is on... usually it feels like when the compressor turns on or off.

I called the "HOT-LINE" and got the "right" answer to this perplexing issue...

The surge is caused by the demons that normally reside in the paint getting into the engine. They want to get out so bad that the car "surges" forward...
