| Description of the problem | My wife and i had just left a local business mid-day on a warm dry summer day. Was less than a block away and traveling slowly at approx 20 mph. Applied brake as we rolled up to a stop sign. Engine started to increase rpm on its own requiring evermore increasing brake pedal pressure in an attempt to come to a stop. Standing on the brake pedal engine rpm reached 2500. I put the gear select into neutral. The brakes grabbed, the engine rpm shot up and returned to standard idle. I put the car in drive and car behaved normal after that. This has occurred approx 6 times over past year. Took it to dealer twice with no resolution. Floor mats secure and locked down. I drive right foot only and brake cleanly and square on the brake pedal. This only occurs at low speed, when engine is warm, and even squealed the tires ( burned rubber ) once. Must slam into neutral to get it to stop. |
