Consumer Description

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST ENGINE RPMS STAY AT THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING UNTIL YOU SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. BRAKING IS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE AT THAT POINT. NO ACCIDENTS YET / BEEN CLOSE ,NEED TO PUT IN NEUTRAL OR SHUT KEY OFF TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED FIRST TIME AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME OR SPEED ,I WOULD SAY IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES OVER TIME.THE CAR HAS 200,000 MILES VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE ONE PROBLEM. *TR
