Consumer Description

OCCURS EVERY 2000 TO 3000 MILES WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. AS I GET NEAR THE IDLE SPEED (2-3 MPH) WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE ENGINE STARTS TO REV UP AND PULL THE CAR FORWARD. I HAVE TO THROW THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE RPM'S SPIKE UP TO 5000 TO 6000 AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SETTLES OUT TO AN IDLE SPEED. I HAD A TUNEUP DONE AT 100K MILES AND PART OF THE SERVICE WAS TO "RESET" THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE SHOP RAN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'M AT ABOUT 118K MILES NOW. THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR AFTER ABOUT 75K MILES DURING CALENDAR YEAR 2018.
