Consumer Description

I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE MY CAR IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND HAVE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO STOP IT. RPM'S ARE SO HIGH THE REV LIMITER KICKS IN AND AT LEAST 15-20 TIMES WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH THE CAR AT IDLE, CAR WOULD ACCELERATE FAST WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALMOST HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME, ONCE AGAIN PUTTING IN NEUTRAL TO STOP IT, HAD IT LOOKED AT BY SERVICE CENTERS BUT NO FAULT CODES WERE FOUND AND WAS TOLD NOT REPAIRABLE IF NO CODE WERE FOUND BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE GUESSING FOR THE PROBLEM. AND I DID LOOK TO SEE IF THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE WAS ON OR OFF THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY, BUT CABLE WAS ATTACHED OK AND HAD NOT FALLEN OFF LIKE OTHER REPORTS. *TR
