Description of the problem | While in motion on rural highway in moderate traffic, i made a quick short gun on gas pedal(not all the way down) as i was going thru yellow traffic signal light. The engine delayed it's revving, then revved, got stuck at high rpm. A red "electronic throttle control" indicator appeared on dashboard. With foot off gas pedal, the vehicle speeds up forward. Had a close call at braking with vehicle in front of me. Braking lowered the rpm but increases rpm / speed again when releasing brake pedal. Stuck with this issue for about a quarter of a mile. Issue disappeared when i came to a complete stop before making a turn. There was a strong feeling of click then the red throttle issue indicator disappeared. Happened once first time this am. No issue thereafter as i have not tried gunning the gas pedal again. I'm reporting this nhtsa first but need to know where to go next. |
