Description of the problem	On 5/15/14 at approx. 0430am, while at a stop light, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. With my right foot on the brake pedal the car suddenly accelerated. Because my foot was on the brake pedal the car moved less than two feet. I then placed the automatic transmission into neutral, where the motor rev'd to approx. 7000 rpm.
