Consumer Description

VEHICLE IDLE INCREASE ON BRAKING TO ABOUT 1500 RPMS. WHEN PUT IN PARK, IDLE INCREASED TO 4500 RPMS. I TRIED TAPING THE GAS TO SEE IF RPMS WOULD GO DOWN. INSTEAD RPMS INCREASED EVEN HIGHER TO OVER 5500 RPMS. TURNED THE CAR OFF. TRIED TO RESTART CAR AND RPMS IMMEDIATELY WENT HIGH AGAIN. TURNED THE CAR OFF A SECOND TIME. COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED 36 HOURS LATER AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN AT THE REPAIR SHIP. THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING AROUND A PARKING LOT LOOKING FOR A SPACE. RPM'S INCREASED. WHEN PUT IN PARK THE RPM'S INCREASED TO OVER 4000 RPMS. CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. *TR
