“I had pulled into a parking space and stopped fully. The van was still in drive and suddenly the engine accelerated while my foot was till on the brake. I grabbed the shift lever and put it in neutral and the engine raced at very high RPM until I was able to grab the ignition key and turn it off. I restarted it and it seemed normal so I drove home and parked it.”
