| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The first incident was at a parking lot booth. i had my foot on the break and the engine raised for about ten seconds like if someone was pressing the gas. it sounded like the engine was going to blow up. i had to press the break pedal hard to keep it from moving and hitting the gate. the second incident was approximately 2 weeks later at an intersection. i was stopped at a light with my foot on the break when the engine started raising again like if someone was pressing on the gas. i looked down to see if the rug was on the way. there was nothing pressing on the gas pedal. this time it did not stop by itself; i had to shift gears because it was hard to hold the break. i put it on park and turned off the car. i was able to start the car back on but it would not shift gears. it was towed to the dealership. rusnak-pasadena kept it for 2 weeks. they replaced the transmission and determined that there was nothing wrong with the car. they suggested i had my foot on both pedals and wanted to give me instructions on how to use one pedal at a time. i drove the car three more times (local driving only). the last time was yesterday afternoon. i was getting out of a parking lot, behind two cars, all of a sudden the engine started to raise again. i placed it in park and the engine stopped raising. i drove the car home and started looking at any other such reports for this car. i found two incidents in your files. one was reported on 01/26/05 (reference #1018965), the other was reported on 09/20/06 (reference #10168741). *jb |
