Consumer Description

I AM REPORTING TWO INCIDENTS OF ENGINE REVVING THAT OCCURRED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IN THE FIRST INCIDENT (SEP 2015), I STARTED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING REALLY FAST EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. I REMAINED IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. AFTER RE-STARTING THE CAR, EVERYTHING BEHAVED NORMALLY. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT (DEC 6, 2015), I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND WAS BACKING UP IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCCELERATED BACKWARD WITH THE ENGINE REVVING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE HARD, AND THEN CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE REVVING STOPPED AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. I FELT LUCKY TO HAVE STOPPED THE CAR, HOWEVER, AND IT WENT BACKWARDS FURTHER AND FASTER THAN WANTED. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MATS AND BRAKE/ACCELERATOR AREA FOR ANY OBJECTS, AND EVERYTHING WAS IN THE CORRECT PLACE. I HAVE NOT YET HAD THE CAR EVALUATED BY A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP, BUT NOW PLAN TO DO THAT SOON.
