Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“It was approximately 8:00 am, conditions were clear and the temperature was 51 degrees. I was at a full stop at a traffic light with the car in drive and my foot on the brake. The car was idling normally while waiting at the light and then suddenly I heard the engine noise change, rpms increased and I could feel the car pull against the brakes. I put the car in neutral and the tach shot up to 4,500 rpms. I put the car in park and shut it off. After the car was shut off, I restarted it and the rpms returned to a normal idle. I shifted into drive when the light turned green. …”
