Consumer Description

CAR SAT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS IN 6 TO 30 DEGREES F WITH OUT BEING STARTED. ON 01/03/2001, I STARTED THE ENGINE JUST TO RUN IT FOR AWHILE. AFTER ABOUT SIX MINUTES I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN O.D. DRIVE WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH RPM AND PUT THE CAR IN MOTION, I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE SPEED DOWN WITH THE BRAKE, BUT NOT STOP IT. AFTER ABOUT THIRTY FEET I PUT THE SHIFT LEVER INTO PARK. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO NORMAL RPM AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WITHIN TEN FEET OF A HEAVY TRAVELED INTERSECTION. THIS WAS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT!
