The end result, if left uncorrected, is the sudden nose up pitch, zero airspeed and falling out of the sky tail first. In a GA let the pilot control the power, and let the autopilot take care of climb rate
For climbing I never used VS mode because you could find yourself running out of airspeed and falling tail first, only use VS for descent, for climb use IAS. It's going to be a life saver if you're heavy, single engine and you're inattentive, as some FW accident reports spell out even with all engines running using VS for climb they ended up stalling and incurred buffet induced structural damage - bits falling off the airframe.
