In Feb 05 took car to shop to report that it revs up at times , when foot not on gas peddle. They said they replaced clutch solenoid. It seemed to stop, but took it back in may and was told it did not show any codes when they hooked it to computer and to make sure my foot was not touching gas peddle when I was stopping. The explorer continues to have this problem of reving up when my foot is not on the gas peddle. I feel I can't take it to the dealership where I got it. As they ack like I am stupid and don't know what I am speaking of. I am scared every time I drive it.
