“I was pulling out of a parking space - put car from reverse into drive - engine suddenly raced to red line. My foot was not on the accelerator at this moment. Even with maximum pressure on brake pedal car moved forward to other parked cars and would not return to idle. I turned off ignition. Car stopped 12 inches from a parked car. When restarted, car behaved normally and I have been unable to reproduce incident. Very dangerous problem!”

I tried to restart the car, and only after multiple attempts (about three) did the car start. There is no warning. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and the code they got was the cam sensors needed replacing, which cost me $650. They said they have been replacing a lot of these. It's very prevalent. …”

After coming to a full stop for at least a minute, I pressed the accelerator and the car did not respond in any way; no engine noise, no RPM change, no movement at all. Then I pushed the accelerator one-half way down and the car made a small engine sound, the rpms went up to around 1500 and the car moved a little. I took my foot off the accelerator and pressed it again and it did not respond, again.
