Consumer Description

UNEXPECTED ENGINE RUN AWAY. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS GONE TO MAX RPM AS THE CAR IS BEING SHIFTED INTO GEAR. ONLY THE FACT THAT I HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL KEPT THE CAR FROM MOVING. THE BRAKES KEPT THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED BUT THE REAR WHEEL OR WHEELS WERE ABLE TO SPIN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY EVERY TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE DATE BELOW IS JUST FOR ONE TIME. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 8 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ON JULY 17, 2018.
