While exiting ez-pass toll my vehicle's engine revved up out of control, as if the accelerator was being floored when i was just barely touching it. I released the accelerator and was able to shift into neutral, apply the foot brake, and pull over safely. Check engine light came on. Took the car in to the dealership and i'm waiting to hear back from them. *tr

I am writing due to the check engine light that has been on for at least the last year. It was a 4 cylinder, but one wouldn't know it by driving the vehicle, not at first anyway. I purchased it in july 2005. Since then the check engine light came on. The car seemed to be sluggish.
