Consumer Description

2001 TRIBUTE WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL CRESTING A HILL WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED, I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT SOON REALIZED THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE CAR STILL IN CRUISE, BUT THAT THE ENGINE WAS BEGINNING TO RACE AND I WAS HAVING TO BRAKE HARD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND PLACED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHEREUPON THE ENGINE REVVED SO HIGH THAT IT SHUT ITSELF DOWN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I FEARED THE WORST BUT SOME SYSTEM SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN BEFORE IT SELF-DESTRUCTED. *TR
