I was slowing down and braking for a red traffic light. I had to apply a lot of pressure on the brakes as it felt like the car was going to accelerate. This is the second time that I had this particular problem. Both times, this acceleration attempt when I was braking, did not happen for the remainder of my drive. I did not notice the engine revving or see that the engine was overheated. I was driving on city street where the posted peed limit is 25 mph and I was driving withing the speed limit.
