Consumer Description

SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL. SUDDENLY, THE CAR ROARED UP TO AROUND 5000 RPM. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING LOUDLY FOR AT LEAST 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE CAR. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THIS ONLY OCCURS 2 OR 3 TIMES PER YEAR. BUT THIS TIME IT LASTED MORE THAN 10 SECONDS AND I NOTICED THE RPM WENT UP TO AROUND THE 5000 MARK. CARS THAT ARE STOPPED ALONGSIDE MY CAR CAN ALSO HEAR THE ENGINE ROARING VERY LOUD.
