High idle when moving from park to drive, causing vehicle to lurch forward, and it will also travel couple feet if foot is not on brakes hard. Manufacturer issued a tsb, but it does not correct defect. Consumer states that this failure caused the liquid filled mounts to fail which also caused exhaust leak at manifold, the tsb number is 97-7-1, which states the PCM needed replaced due to an incorrect software identification block. Drive and serpentine belts failed.
