Consumer Description

WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE RPMS SURGED CAUSING SPEED TO INCREASE SUDDENLY. I PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO SURGE FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE RPMS SUDDENLY SURGED AND I AGAIN PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THE SURGE CONTINUED FOR ABOUT THREE SECONDS AGAIN. ON ONE OTHER OCCASION, WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHILE EXITING A PARKING SPACE, THE RPMS SURGED FOR ABOUT TWO SECONDS AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY ON ITS OWN WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. *TR
