Consumer Description

TWO TIMES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS, WHILE I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC (WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE) THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED! IN BOTH CASES, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. THE REVING OF THE ENGINE TOOK ME BY SURPRISE BOTH TIMES, BUT I MANAGED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH SO THAT I DID NOT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. IT STARTED UP AND IN NEITHER INSTANCE DID I HAVE ANOTHER RE-OCCURRENCE THAT DAY.*AK
