Terrifying morning. I was on the highway and suddenly notice my car won’t stop accelerating. I brake till I can get over safely, get it stopped on the shoulder and put it in park. Then I turn it off because it’s still revving fully. I tried to turn it back on to close my windows, and the meters all started going back and forth and there was a clicking noise that wouldn’t stop, the doors kept locking and unlocking. I got it towed and now it’s at the mechanics, but it was a last minute call so they probably won’t get to it till Monday.

In the meantime does this sound familiar to anyone? It only has 85k miles on it. I lucked out not hurting myself or anyone but goddamn I love that car. I’m worried now that I hurt the transmission by shifting while it was revving like that, but the tow truck was able to shift it into neutral for a tow. Please, let me know if you have any guesses because the suspense is killing me

    Usually when this happens, throttle gets stuck wide open, especially with no load(in park or neutral )main bearings will go buy-buy.
