Consumer Description

THIS IS FOLLOW UP ASSESSMENT TO MY 9/22/2019 CLAIM [XXX]- WHERE I FOUND MYSELF IN A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE RUN AWAY SITUATION THAT RESULTED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC'S FIRST OBSERVATION WHEN TURN IGNITION KEY, THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL THROTTLE OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER QUICKLY SHUTTING DOWN ENGINE THE SYMPTOMS LEAD MY MECHANIC TO TEST THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. HAVING NEVER SEEN THIS DANGEROUS SYMPTOM FROM A BAD IACV, HE CONTINUED TO DO FURTHER TEST ON THE IACV ONLY TO DETERMINE THE PART WAS INDEED DEFECTIVE. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, THE DEFECTIVE IACV PART WAS QUICKLY REPLACED. THE ENGINE IS NOW RUNNING GOOD AGAIN.
