Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE OF MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC WHEN THE CAR'S ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED TO 4000RPM. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT 4000RPM. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT LASTED ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLING SPEED AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. THE VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ABOUT 11,000 MILES, IS CURRENTLY AT A HONDA DEALER FOR EVALUATION. *TR
