Consumer Description

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR IN MAY 2001, THE GAS PEDAL SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE RACES ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER AND ROAD TESTS HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING. THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE CAR WHICH I DRIVE VERY CAUTIOUSLY.
