Consumer Description

UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I EXPERIENCED AN ACCELERATION SURGE WHILE BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES ON THIS TRIP. ALMOST EVERY TIME WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE ENGINE WOULD INCREASE RPMS. THIS GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO ANALYZE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE CAR. THE REVVING OF THE ENGINE WAS DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY BRAKING. SIMPLY REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND COASTING DID NOT RESULT IN THE ENGINE SURGING. WHEN I SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WOULD MOMENTARILY EXCEEDED 5000 RPM ALMOST RED LINING AND THEN RETURN TO A NORMAL IDLE. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD LOOKING FOR ICE ON LINKAGES, FOULED AIR FILTER OR ANYTHING UNUSUAL. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT LOOKED OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH EVERY BRAKING ACTION. THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR ACTED NORMALLY. *TR
