Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, CAR UNCONTROLLABLY RAPIDLY ACCELERATES AND REVS UP TO 5000 RPMS. BRAKING NO MATTER HOW HARD, NOR PUMPING BRAKES DID NOT STOP CAR - MAY HAVE PREVENTED IT FROM GOING FASTER, HOWEVER; BUT REVS REMAINED HIGH. ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL WAS TO SWITCH TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. WHEN PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, RAPID PUMPING OF BRAKES DECELERATED CAR AND ALLOWED TO REGAIN CONTROL; HOWEVER, BRAKE PUMPING DID NOT WORK RECENTLY. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND THUS, DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE EVEN WHEN COMPLAINT OCCURRED DURING FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP - AND IN FACT, DID NOT RECUR FOR MORE THAN 1 YEAR AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR
