Consumer Description

CAR WAS REVVING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. WHILE AT LIGHT IT WOULD REV AT1700, IN PARK 4600. IDLING AT 30 MPH AND CAR WOULD SPEED ITSELF UP AS IF ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK. WHEN LET OFF BRAKE CAR WOULD JUMP DUE TO HIGH REVVING. IF I WAS WAITING ON TRAIN AND DIDN'T KNOW BETTER AND EDGED UP I WOULD HAVE JUMPED INTO THE TRAIN. ISSUE WAS FAULTY CABLE THAT BROKE OFF AT THROTTLE AND WOULDN'T ALLOW A DECELERATION. WAS VERY SCARY. LUCKILY I KNOW MY CAR AND KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. *TR
