| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While stopped at an intersection, the engine suddenly and unexpectedly began to rev uncontrollably without any input from me. due to the high revolutions of the engine the brakes were incapable of prventing the car from moving forward even though the brake petal was fully depressed. the only way to prevent my car from hitting the car in front of me was to shut off the engine. two subsequent attempts to re-start the engine resulted in a repeat of the over-revving situation. only after the third attempt did the engine resume normal operation. a passenger in the car at the time verified that the accelerator was not engaged at any time during the incident. the car was immediately driven to the dealer who inspected it and found no fault with the etc system and no stored codes that would verify my complaint. the car was subsequently returned to us and was driven without incident for the next nineteen months before the problem once again presented itself. as we were pulling into a parking space while my foot was on the brake petal the engine once again began to over-rev without any input from me. again, the passenger in the car who had witnessed the first incident immediately looked to see if the accelerator was accidentally being depressed. it was not. again, the only means of preventing my car from striking the vehicle in front of me was to shut off the engine. *nm |
