Anyone see these ? I had a dodge 21 Durango that once the roller touched it sped up to 6 feet past the roller. It made me very nervous. Only on newer cars anyone see anything like that before ? I have a pretty slow pace 65 foot tunnel peco friction wash with drb

A lot of grand cherokees and Durango’s do this that were made in the last 10 years or so.

I’ve yet to track down if it is a certain transmission engine combo or what. I’ve seen them roll up to 60’, almost looks like they are in drive but they don’t have enough speed to get over a roller.

Is it rolllng forward or acing like it's in gear?
It looks like it's in gear I mean it just keeps going and going . I shut the power before he went thru 2nd side wraps. He said when he went to Mike's it was showing 2 mph on speed. No other cars do this

I bolted on the right side of the floor in front of stopped car three hard rubber mats about 3 ft. Long, 1 inch thick and 4 inches wide 5’ apart in front of the car. This helped us with cars that rolled.
