Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ITSELF. I BRAKE, THAT DIDN'T HELP MUCH. IT STOPPED THE CAR, BUT DID NOT STOP THE ENGINE FROM ABNORMALLY REVVING ITSELF UP. I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT WAS OKAY, BUT STILL AT A HIGHER RPM THAN NORMAL. AGAIN, 5 MINS LATER, WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC IT REVVED UP AGAIN. IT WAS AT ABOUT 2500 RPM, COMING FROM A DEAD STOP. I FREAKED OUT AND TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK THINKING THAT WOULD HELP. WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK, IT REVVED ITSELF TO ABOUT 4000RPM. I TURNED IT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON A SHORT WHILE LATER AND DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND KEPT IT PARKED. *TR
