Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS IDLING IN PARK. VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE. ONCE FOOT WAS RELEASED FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR LUNGED BACKWARD, THE TACHOMETER READ ABOUT 3000 RPM, WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. JUST AS QUICKLY PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ENTERED "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE" AND SHUT DOWN. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING WOULD CLEAR THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES SINCE THE REPORTED INCIDENT DATE, ALL WITH THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. THE VEHICLE HAD THE A/C ON AND WAS IDLING IN APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT TEMPERATURES WITH +50% RELATIVE HUMIDITY. *KB
