| Description of the problem | As i was approaching my left turn into the community i live in and driving about 45 mph, i stepped onto the brake and the car engine started accelerating. There was a vehicle approaching in the opposite direction which was the reason i was trying to stop. I pushed down on the brake but the engine continued to accelerate. I shifted into neutral and the engine slowed down. This is a very dangerous situation to be in. This happened twice since i owned the vehicle. I took it to the dealer but they could not re-create the situation again. |
