problem #1

Dec 222005

Corolla 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,800 miles
When parking the car the car attempted to accelerate on its own. I looked down to make sure my foot was not on the gas - my foot was planted on the brake. I had to brake as hard as a I could to keep the car from rear ending the vehicle in front as the engine all on its own dragged the car forward. The car was moving at about two miles an hour when this took place. The engine revved up to 4000 rpms without any pressure on the gas and simply dragged the car forward.
