Description of the problem | Driving up to a drive-in bank the car suddenly accelerated. I stopped the car a few feet beyond the teller window by a heavy application of the brakes. I put the car in reverse and backed up to the window. In reverse the engine was still racing. I put the car in neutral and the engine continued to race. Upon finishing my banking transaction i put the car in drive. The engine slowed to a normal idle i took the car to the dealer for service four days later; the dealer found nothing abnormal. |
