Consumer Description

01/02/2014 AT 7:15AM: VEHICLE IDLED NORMALLY FOR APPROX 15 MINUTES WHILE I CLEARED SNOW FROM DRIVEWAY. I ENTERED VEHICLE, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. I MANAGED TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE RPM INCREASED TO RED-LINE LEVEL. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE A MINUTE LATER AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT WHICH WAS NOT CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AT LEAST 4" AWAY. MY FOOT NEVER DEPRESSED THE PEDAL. I AM A MECHANICAL DESIGNER AND I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS WAS NOT A MECHANICAL ISSUE. I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY ACCELERATOR ISSUES PREVIOUS TO THIS EVENT. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALER TO LOOK INTO THIS. *TR
