Consumer Description

WHILE IN MOTION ON RURAL HIGHWAY IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, I MADE A QUICK SHORT GUN ON GAS PEDAL(NOT ALL THE WAY DOWN) AS I WAS GOING THRU YELLOW TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHT. THE ENGINE DELAYED IT'S REVVING, THEN REVVED, GOT STUCK AT HIGH RPM. A RED "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" INDICATOR APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. WITH FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SPEEDS UP FORWARD. HAD A CLOSE CALL AT BRAKING WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. BRAKING LOWERED THE RPM BUT INCREASES RPM / SPEED AGAIN WHEN RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL. STUCK WITH THIS ISSUE FOR ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE. ISSUE DISAPPEARED WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE MAKING A TURN. THERE WAS A STRONG FEELING OF CLICK THEN THE RED THROTTLE ISSUE INDICATOR DISAPPEARED. HAPPENED ONCE FIRST TIME THIS AM. NO ISSUE THEREAFTER AS I HAVE NOT TRIED GUNNING THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN. I'M REPORTING THIS NHTSA FIRST BUT NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GO NEXT.
