Consumer Description

NOTE: THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.... WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, MY CAR BEGAN TO REV UNCONTOLLABLY AT SPEEDS SO HIGH I THOUGH THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW. AS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME, I PRESSED AS HARD AS I COULD SO AS NOT TO LUNGE FORWARD. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF BUT UPON STARTING, IT WAS STILL OUT OF CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS THAT STOPPED THIS PROBLEM AS ONE GETS PRETTY MUCH PANICKED WHEN ONE CAN'T CONTROL THE SITUATION. *AK
