I have a 2006 Mustang GT with Automatic transmission. About a month ago I was in drive thru line, in drive, brake on, waiting for my turn to move forward...suddenly the engine began racing, I held the brake down hard which kept me from moving but the RPMS kept increasing and the tires began squealing, I put the car in Park (instinct) and now the enging is red-lining so I turned the ignition off. I then restarted and it ran ok.
It just happened 15 minutes ago, I was in my driveway, started the car, put it into reverse and with my foot on the brake I started to ease backwards when suddenly the enging begins to race! I again put it into park, now the engine beginning to red line as I then turn the ignition off! Restart and all is normal.
Both times I was not touching the gas pedal.
I've had the car since may 2006 and I'm calling the dealer service dept in the morning.
Anyone have this happen to them? Ideas as what is the cause?
thanks!
Fred
