On flat ground, or slightly downhill my 2006 with 294K miles feels like it’s always engine braking when I let off in Drive at any speed, though it's most noticeable at 35MPH+, it slows down much faster than you’d expect. Shifting into neutral allows for a proper "coast", and removes the engine brake feeling. This rules out a brake issue, though I am due for rear brakes soon. Tire pressures have been tested from 35PSI to 45PSI with almost no change in performance. My alignment, specifically toe has been checked as well. All is in-line with OE Specs.
In order to maintain a constant speed, on a slight downhill grade I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal.
I read somewhere that 06-07’s have GPS based engine braking so you don’t speed downhill. Can anybody confirm this? I can’t find the post to confirm but maybe I'm confused with seeing a post in the 200-Series Section.
I appreciate any insight into this, or pointers as to where to look.
