| Description of the problem | The date i gave was one of many. It happens a lot. When driving my engine revs way up high. Like you are pushing the accelerator to the floor. And i am driving normal. I took the car to the service department. They said there was nothing they could do. Because they couldn't get it to rev up for them. It is very scary. I really don't feel safe driving the vehicle. This happens a lot. There has to be something that is causing this. It can happen at anytime you can be driving normal speed, you can be slowing down, you can just be taking off from a stop. Whenever it wants to rev up.. Bl |
