Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWN HILL ROAD ( ABOUT 0.3 MILES), AND MY TRANSMISSION WAS EXACTLY ON "D". BECAUSE IT WAS A DOWN HILL ROAD, I RELEASED MY GAS PEDAL. HOWEVER, SUDDENLY MY ENGINE MADE SOME ACCELERATION SOUND, AND ON THE METER, IT SHOWED THAT THE ENGINE SPEED WAS INCREASING FROM 2000RPM TO 3000RPM. (PLEASE NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT FEEDING THE GAS AT THAT MOMENT BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON A DOWN HILL ROAD ). I IMMEDIATELY STEP ON THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I NEED TO DRIVE ON THIS ROAD ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS KIND OF INCIDENT HAD NEVER HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY.
