ENGINE REV'S UP ON IT'S OWN. I DISCUSSED THIS WITH A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CLEANS IT'S SELF. THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT IN ANY DANGER, THE SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC BUT I HAD CONTROL OF THE SITUATION BUT THE LAST TIME I WAS IN MY GARAGE AND ALMOST DROVE INTO MY HOUSE WALL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY REPLY OVER THE LOSS OF STEERING I REPORTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO ON THIS SAME VEHICLE, THIS IS ALSO A DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *TR
