Unintended acceleration when braking. Description of incident August 5, 2010 I did not drive the car, it was parked in front of my apartment. August 6, 2010 at 12:15pm I drove from my apartment to the pebble beach lodge parking lot (approx. 5 miles and 10 minutes). At 4:15pm and after a long lunch at the lodge I drove â¼ mile to my bank parking lot near the lodge. I went to the bank and the pebble beach market nearby. At 5pm I drove home, I was driving on an asphalt paved road in pebble beach at approximately 30 to 35 mph and lightly applied the brake (only) around a curve and the car lurched forward (eg, vigorously accelerated). I took my foot off the brakes, I was startled and let the car coast for a few feet, there was no traffic on pebble beach drive at that time. I resumed the drive home, and I was very much alert and aware and very careful, I applied the brakes several times without incident and stopped at two stop signs before I approached the third stop sign approximately five minutes later, as I neared a 4 way stop intersection, I slowly I applied the brakes a normal distance before the intersection, but as I was attempting to stop the car before the intersection, the car lurch forward and I instantly pressed the brake pedal (only, not the gas pedal) and moved the shifter into the park position and turned the key off. I was about five feet farther into the intersection than I planned. The car on my left did not move into the intersection as he observed the event (and gave me his phone #), he heard my wheels screech (for a split second) and maybe my front wheels made noise too, but I only recall hearing the rear wheels.
