Consumer Description

DRIVING UP TO A DRIVE-IN BANK THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I STOPPED THE CAR A FEW FEET BEYOND THE TELLER WINDOW BY A HEAVY APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACKED UP TO THE WINDOW. IN REVERSE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE. UPON FINISHING MY BANKING TRANSACTION I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE ENGINE SLOWED TO A NORMAL IDLE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE FOUR DAYS LATER; THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING ABNORMAL.
