Description of the problem	I was traveling the speed limit of 70 mph on the highway and had to slow down to 50-55 mph for a merging vehicle. When i changed lanes and accelerated, the engine revved up to 4000 rpm and stuck there, and i was going over 80 very quickly. I took my foot off the accelerator and the van continued to accelerate. I put the van in neutral and braked, and was able to get over to the shoulder and stop and turn off the engine. Very dangerous situation. I started the van back up and the engine went right back to 4000 rpm - exactly where it was before. I turned the engine off and then repeated the process another 3 times - straight back to 4000 rpm. I verified that the accelerator was not stuck on anything. Since the van has the auto-manual transmission where i can shift manually, i started the van, and immediately put it in drive and shifted manually, and the engine kicked a few times and then began to run normally. Ran normally all the way home. Called a few dealers, none of which seemed too concerned and couldn't get my van in for over a week. When i finally got a dealer to look at it, they performed a recall for the powertrain control module and said everything was working fine. There was nothing in the recall about this issue, and none of the service depts i called had heard of it.
