“While waiting in traffic in a parking lot to enter the highway, with car in drive , foot on brake and at a complete stop, the engine suddenly accelerated to a high idle (approx 1200-1500 RPM). The car lunged forwarded slightly, but I was able to apply more pressure to the brake and stop without colliding with the vehicle ahead of me. When I entered the highway and attempted to accelerate, the accelerator was unresponsive. I was able to coast back to the shoulder without causing any traffic accident. I noticed that the check engine light was on and engine was still at a high idle. …”
