Owner's description
WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED THE ENGINE REVVED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ENTER THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I COULD STOP IT. THE ENGINE RETURNED TO IDLE A FEW SECONDS LATER. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC AT THIS TIME. THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED. I HAD TO APPLY CONSIDERABLE BRAKE PRESSURE TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I OBSERVED THE TACHOMETER READ ABOUT 2500 RPM AND IT RETURNED TO IDLE AFTER ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. NO ERRORS OR OTHER INDICATORS OF A FAILURE WERE NOTICED. THIS VEHICLE HAD ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE START/STOP FEATURE QUITE FREQUENTLY BUT NOT AT THIS TIME. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS LOW CAUSING THE START/STOP ISSUES BUT HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE ENGINE REVVING AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS BASICALLY NEW WITH APPROXIMATELY 2800 HIGHWAY MILES AND HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE THE END OF JUNE.
