| Car Accelerates On Its Own problems |
The vehicle was cold and driven approx 1/2 mile to stop light from home. I was lightly stepping on the brake waiting for a light to turn green and all of a sudden a brief surge which caused me to hit the brake harder and then the surge stopped. I could see the tach go up as if I had hit the accelerator. In my opinion this sudden acceleration is a computer issue and not a Toyota, Ford or GMC issue. Who manufactures the computer equipment for these vehicles? in my case I just ignored it because nothing bad happened but I thought the NHTSA should know. I have not had the problem since.
