Consumer Description

EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN EVEN WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE. WHILE MOVING OR STOPPED, I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, THE RPMS REV UP AND I HAVE TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE RPMS TO DROP BACK DOWN. THEN, I HAVE TO SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN GIVEN IS TO REPLACE THE IDOL AIR CONTROL VALVE (IAC) AND THAT DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, BECAUSE I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER, BUT MY 17 YR SON DRIVES THE CAR AS WELL AND I WORRY ABOUT HIS SAFETY. *TR
