Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE CAR ENGINE REVVED HIGHER AND CAR JUMPED FORWARD. MY FOOT WAS ALREADY ON THE BRAKE SO I PRESSED BRAKE ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE CAR STOPPED BUT THE ENGINE KEPT REVVING AT JUST OVER 3000RPM. I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ENGINE REMAINED AT JUST OVER 3000RPM. I THEN PUT CAR IN PARK AND ENGINE RPM SHOT TO OVER 6000 AT WHICH I IMMEDIATELY TUNED KEY TO OFF. I NEVER TOOK FOOT OFF BRAKE DURING THIS TIME. I THEN TURNED CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE NEW FROM DEALER. *TR
