| My son and wife were in the vehicle when it accelerated out of control. my son hit the brakes hard and found it difficult to keep the car below 30 mph. he noticed the tachometer was racing 3,000 rpm even though he was applying the brake hard. he was able to pull over into a convenience store and shut off the engine. this was the only time this happened although i often felt the car was going too fast (@ 20mph) when starting up with no foot pressure on accelerator. car was towed to dealer and repaired 2 days later. mechanic said the 'air intake valve' was dirty (carbon deposits) and replaced. he also noted car was reprogrammed by the computer. car performance i believe, was due to malfunction of computer or microprocessors which caused too much fuel to be injected into the engine. | |||
