Accent

  • 18,700 miles
When braking for a red light, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and engine revved up. Depressed the brake pedal with both feet. Engine kept revving up. Light turned green and driver slowly released the brake pedal and the engine seemed to return to normal. No further problem at this time.
