Consumer Description

AFTER GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A 30 MPH ZONE, CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WAS RACING. I SHUT IT OFF AND WAITED AND STARTED UP AND IT WAS STILL RACING, I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR QUICKLY ON AND OFF AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I DROVE DOWN THE STREET AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND KICKED IT DOWN WITH THE ACCELERATOR AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. IT SEEMS VERY INTERMITTENT AS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 2 YEARS AGO. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
