Even with the brakes fully applied the vehicle still moved into a 4 way intersection. I shifted to neutral and the RPM's increased even more before the engine returned to normal operation. 10 minutes later I started the vehicle at my bank and placed the transmission in rev. The engine again rapidly increased the RPM's and I barely kept the vehicle from rocketing away backwards by holding my foot fully on the brake. …”
