    No the car is not in the cold, it is in a garage every night. The car was cold at start up, but it is not like you can warm it up like a normal car, at least I don't know how to. And it is only about 40-45 degrees here, not like the northeast. I wonder if one of the ruts I hit, had one of the wheels up in the air, but I still lost all my pedal, which is what it feels like when the reverse thing happens.

    Another thing is, sometimes when I turn the car on, and go into reverse I hear a grinding sort of noise, but not grinding. Hard to explain, more like a scratching sound for about a half a second. I was able to reproduce that with the dealer and they had no answer for me, and told me not to worry about it. Anyone else have that issue? I wonder if it is the brakes surging or charging, or whatever it is they do.

    I have already answered most of that if you took the time to read my posts.

    It is a dirt road, which in most cases is a private road.

    It is rainy, so the road is wet.

    And I know I said a few times, this was the first time it had happened going forward.

    I do not have the time, or really am interested in finding out about altitude change.

    And as you can see, your post was edited, and my response was deleted, I do not think me and you are going to see eye to eye on things, so please, just leave it alone.
