Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, I.E. AT A STOP SIGN, MY CAR BEGINS TO DRIVE, THEN I HEAR THE ENGINE "REV", AS IF IT IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. IT IS IN DRIVE. THEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR, RESTART AND THEN IT IS OK..IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WOULD SAY IT HAPPENS 1X PER WEEK, SOMETIMES 2X PER WEEK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE "REVVING" BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OF COURSE!
