In 2004 during the winter my 1999 Toyota Corolla le accelerator extremely fast as if the accelerator was floored. I immediately put the car in neutral and coasted to the side of the road where I put the car in park and shut the engine off. I checked the floor mats as my first troubleshooting attempt. The floor mats were ok. I started my car again and again it accelerated at a high speed. At that point I was still on the side on the road and my car was in park. I pumped the accelerator several time and finally the car idle at a normal speed. It has not happen since that day.
Tl-the contact owns a 1999 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that after braking to a stop, the vehicle would surge forward abnormally.

My car is automatic. Sometimes when I am driving it "revs" really high like over 4. And thats only when I am going 30mph. Even if I put overdrive on it still doesnt work. Also my low gas light indicator fades in and out. Its doesnt come on until the car is past the "e" . And the last problem is my locks. When I am driving I lock my doors. And then when I turn off my car, take my keys out, it wont let my unlock my door. I have automatic doors and it shouldnt be doing this. One last comment is that these problems do not happen on all the time. But at least once a week. I have brought it in to the Toyota dealer many times and they say there is nothing wrong. I know there is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
