Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING INTO TOWN (APPROX. 12 MILES) AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 40 MPH AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. I HAD TO APPLY ALL MY WEIGHT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE DID NOT RETURN TO IDLE SPEED WHEN I WAS STOPPED. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THE RPM INDICATED 1500 REVS. I KICKED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE SPEED, 700 REVS. THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE PEDAL. I CAN NOT FIND ANY RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR
