| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 nissan sentra (1.8 engine, auto trans). on two occasions i have experienced the engine unexpectedly revving up while stopped at an intersection with my foot on the brake and not the accelerator. several months ago, i was stopped at a traffic light, car in drive, foot on brake. the engine began steadily increasing the idle speed and the engine revved (with my foot ton the brake the whole time) to i would guess 2500-3000 rpms. just as quickly, revving ceased and the engine returned to a normal idle speed. the increase and decrease in idle speed probably occurred over about 5-8 seconds. about two weeks ago, i had a similar episode, again while stopped at a light, with the car in drive and my foot on the break. this time, the engine began to rev at an even higher rpm rate. i put the car in neutral and the car revved violently at a rate that must have been approaching full throttle. it sort of revved full and then backed off slightly several times before i turned the ignition off. once the engine shut off, i restarted the car and everything was back to normal. i took the car to the dealer and they could not duplicate the problem. they adjusted the idle but i have no confidence that the problem is resolved. this is a safety issue, it is my daughter's car, and i am concerned. i suspect a computer failure of some kind. nissan must be pressured to resolve this issue. |
