Why Did My Z, Keep Revving? Video.

You need to reset it anyways... just go out and do it now. The system might just need a hard restart and that could clear your issue.

If not, I would take the car to the dealership and show them these videos.

This is a potential safety issue, so I don't think they would send you off without a fix. The throttle assembly needs to be inspected (could be an issue with the hardware there) and the ECU needs to be checked... maybe a software glitch. Either way, you need to take it in and demand they fix it!

Complaining definitely isn't going to help any... take it in! If I was your service manager I would assure you we would not give you the car back until we resolved the issue... and I'd make sure you had a loaded loaner car provided free of charge for as long as it took to repair!

Sorry to hear it. Quick question, if you take the car off the "S Mode", can you replicate such behavior?

Since it was in neutral with the car stopped, I don't think the S mode would change anything. If the car's not moving, SynchroRev shouldn't do anything. It's just a guess, but either way. If I'm walking out of the car, it should idle. It was in neutral.

SynchroRev was the only thing that helped me.

Ummm....I didn't mean do it in the middle of an intersection. Do it at home tonight. The only way to clear the memory and a potential Computer scramble is to power down the car (not just tun it off). If it doesn't recover, get it to the dealer as advised above..

I didn't either. I said go out now... assuming he's on the boards at home, not in the middle of an intersection.

If you weren't implicating that I suggested a bat disco in the intersection then I just was confused by the double quote.

No worries...I was using you to reinforce my post! Sometimes it takes a little reinforcement to get the point across.......
