  ENGINE

  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. *TR
