Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE REVS ON IT'S OWN. STARTING AND STOPPING THROUGH TOWN IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS I HOLD THE BRAKE DOWN THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE AS IF MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR REVS IN PARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, AND REVERSE. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. HE CLEANED OUT THE FUEL THROTTLE AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK AND CAME BACK. I TALKED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT. HE TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY A DEFECT. *TR
