Description of the problem	I started my car with push button ignition and it immediately accelerated to 4000 rpm and stayed at that speed for over 20 minutes. During that time, i was unable to turn the car off and could not shift the car. When the engine finally returned to a normal idle speed, i could shift the car but could not accelerate the engine. I would press the gas pedal and nothing happened... The engine remained running at idle. I called to have it towed to the dealer and after it sat for an hour or so , it was able to be driven on to the flatbed truck. The check engine light was on. After 5 days, the service manager called and said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. The check engine light was not on and there were no codes indicating a problem. They did nothing to find or address this problem and i'm concerned that it could happen again while i'm driving the car. I am also concerned that the engine could have been damaged by running continually at 4ooo rpm for over 20 minutes.. I would assume that this event was caused by a software problem, so i am confident that it will reoccur. Frnkly, i am afraid to drive this car.
