Was driving on residential street, approximately 25-30 mph, and car just lost power and stalled. After a few minutes it could start again - but the vehicle would not move, even if gas was pushed down. After a week at the dealership - they said it was the throttle. My car would not start before (after only having the car for approximately 7 months and approximately 2000 miles) - and after having it towed to the dealer, they just said the fuel was gelling. But they did do a computer upgrade and said there "particles in the fuel line" that they cleaned out and said I may have gotten "bad fuel". 1 week after my 40000 mile routine maintenance check - my glow plug light went on and I had to have a sensor replaced.
Vehicle was turning into a parking spot, driver had moved foot from accelerator pedal to brake. Suddenly, engine surged and vehicle began to accelerate. The driver applied significant brake pressure to halt vehicle and turned off ignition. Vehicle subsequently drove normally and dealer inspection found no problem.
