I was stopped in traffic when all of a sudden the car tried to accelerate even though my foot was firm on the brake pedal. I had to "stand" on the brake pedal and I immediately shifted into park. The engine reached a very high rpm until I jiggled the acceleration pedal. Then the engine acted normally. The eco was not engaged and the cruise control was not engaged. Mileage is 40,078 miles.
