| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On 4 different occasions my car has started to accelerate when i am sitting at a stoplight with my foot on the brake. (this has happened over the 3 years that i have owned the car with several months lapsing between incidents) each time when i felt it begin to surge, i put it in neutral while holding the brake pedal down tightly, waiting for the engine racing to stop. i was then able to put the car in drive and it worked normally. the dealer found no codes recorded when i brought the car in, so nothing could be done. in january of '06 i was dropping mail from my car into a mail drop. my car revved up between 4000 and 6000 rpm's. i had my foot on the brake and tried putting it into neutral with no effect on stopping the acceleration. i put the car in park & shut it off. when i restarted it, it was still racing. i had to shut the car down 5 times before the car drove normally. i drove it 2 blocks to my home and had it towed to the dealer. on jan. 4,2006 the throttle position sensor, chamber as., gasket thr. were changed. they performed an upper engine decarb. procedure, cleaned the throttle body, and installed fuel additive. on jan. 20, 2006 i brought my car back to the dealer because the car started accelerating as i was pushing down on the brake. dealer found no codes registered on the car's computers, nor could they replicate the problem when they drove the car. |
