| Description of the problem | Sudden engine acceleration when parking. This is the second time this happened. My wife was parking the car and when she put her foot on the brake (note, she is a very experienced driver and was not accidentally pushing the accelerator, also nothing on the floor was touching it.) the engine started to accelerate to full throttle, she jammed on the brake and throw it into park at which point the engine raced full speed until she turned off the key. It was ok after restarting, this is the 2nd time within a month. Very dangerous condition . |
