Description of the problem | Yesterday, 5 jan 12, as i approached a stop light i removed my foot from the gas and applied the brakes. The vehicle did not slow down as expected. It was as if the engine was fighting me. I put the car into neutral and the rpms shot up to about 5000 and then went back down. The cruise control was not engaged and my foot was on the brake, not on the gas. Today, as i was coasting towards an intersection, foot off the gas, i stepped on the brake and again the engine revved up causing me to have to press very hard on the brake to stop. After no more than one or two seconds the problem disappeared. This could easily cause a serious accident. |
