Consumer Description

WENT OUT ONE MORNING, CRANKED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BLOW UP. IT IS REVVING UP AROUND 3000 RPM AND WILL NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY USE THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GOING TOO FAST. I TRIED TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT DOES NOTHING EXCEPT REV HIGHER. SOME KIND OF CABLE HAD FALLEN OFF AND A FRIEND OF MINE PUT IT BACK ON, BUT NOW I THINK IT IS OFF AGAIN. THE CAR HAS MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING IT AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET ANOTHER CAR. *TR
