| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: For about the fifth time in the past two years, i have experienced an unintended acceleration. as i was pulling into a 7-11 parking lot, the engine revved without my foot on the accelarator and surged forward at which time i applied the brake hard. the car continued to surge forward, restrained, slower by the braking but still moving toward pedestrians and the store. i moved the shifter into park and the revving ceased in about a second or two. the prior four times i was in traffic moving ahead slowly-- stop and go. while stopped, the engine began to rev and the car tried to surge forward with my foot already on the brake. i depressed the pedal harder and the revving stopped in about 5-10 seconds. reported to the dealer first on 01/03/2002. npf.*ak |
