The car has a manual transmission and was shifted into neutral at this time. The tachometer indicated the engine was redlining in neutral while the foot was still off the accelerator pedal. This engine speed lasted for approximately 5 seconds then the accelerator appeared to become unstuck and car operation returned to normal. An aftermarket floor mat was in place at the time of the incident. …”
