Love my wagon. If anyone has one or even someone that doesnt. could they tell me if there is anything such as a built in safety feature to stop over revving.This is what happens. Vehicle stationary, put foot on accelerator and at 4000rpm engine starts to misfire. Drive vehicle in 1st gear auto, vehicle misfires at 6500rpm. There is no red line on Tach. It has been suggested there is nothing wrong just a built in safety feature. Vehicle performs 100% when driven normally, and Im quite an aggressive driver, not aggressive in manner but when I overtake I get the job done, if you know what I mean.

Haha, love your comment about getting the job done when passing. Watched you dither about in the passing lane last week up the coast and that was far from aggressive driving. Your mothers more aggressive than that!!
