Consumer Description

I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A RED LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DIED. I TURNED THE KEY SO I COULD BEGIN TO TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AND I NOTICED THE RPM'S START REVVING UP AND ITS TRYING TO OVER-ACCELERATE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO A SAFE SPOT BUT I WAS 100% WORRIED IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. IT SOUNDS VERY IF NOT EXACTLY SIMILAR TO A LOT OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. NO CODES COME UP FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS SERIOUS. *TR
