| Description of the problem | My car revved to between 4 and 6 thousand rpms when i was parking in my work parking garage. In the process i ended up hitting two suvs and did over $5,500 in damage to my car. I took my car to our hyundai service to have the engine looked at and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. On friday, may 15 as i was driving home from work on rt 70 at the top of braddock mountain my car revved again for no reason. Luckily i wasn't in traffic when the rev happened. This rev has also happened when my husband was driving the car. |
