ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE ENGINE OF MY WIFE'S SATURN [XXX] HAS CONTINUED TO RUN AT AN ELEVATED SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED. THEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL THE RPMS DROP, BUT WHEN IT IS PUT BACK INTO DRIVE THE RPMS INCREASE AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED THE VIBRATIONS RESUME. EVENTUALLY THE SITUATION CLEARS. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WE TOOK THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL SATURN DEALER WHO REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO COMPUTER CODES SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE TOLD ME ABOUT ONE WAS IN JANUARY THIS YEAR. WE HAVE HAD PERHAPS A DOZEN SINCE THEN. THE INCIDENTS VARY IN SEVERITY. THE FIRST ONE MY WIFE REPORTED WAS QUITE FRIGHTENING.
