    Creep

    Just wanted to add my 2 cents and say that my VX also creeps forward at idle..and does so with some vigour too! I think its normal...

    Ditto all the above "normal" responses. Its a function of the gearing and how low the torque converter engages (it was made for 4wd afterall). I've taken to putting it in neutral at stoplights just so I can relax my brake foot (whew!).

    I just checked out my forward speed at idle, and on level ground I was able to finally active 5 mph. Not very speedy and certainly well within my ability to hold the brake at traffic lights.

    just a cool little tip... last night i was stuck in traffic for about an hr and a half (GAH!) and in my boredom started playing with the vx... in stop and go traffic.. winter mode is awesome!! the idle doesnt pull nearly as hard so you can very easily keep up with the stop and go without having to hit the brakes every 2 seconds since the vx pulls so much harder than most cars at idle... biggest problem was that after 45 min of that i realized my winter mode was still on.. which meant i hadnt broken 20mph yet
