Description of the problem | After coming to a stop at a traffic light, my car engine sped up, forcing me to press down harder on the brake. The engine continued to increase in speed, and i placed the car into neutral, at which point the engine raced quite high. I turned off the ignition, the engine stopped, and i restarted it a few seconds later without further incident. My foot had not been on the accelerator from the time i stopped at the traffic light until i resumed my travels, after restarting the engine. Not sure about the model year; it might have been a 2010 model. I rented the car in las vegas from advantage and have asked for the vin, but have not heard from the company yet. It is their car # [xxx] . Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
