Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When you step on the gas to pass another auto, occasionally the auto surges forward at a high rate of speed, not 5-10 miles an hour but more like 25-30. Taking your foot off the gas does nothing as the car continues to get faster and faster. Applying the brake pressed all the way down barely slows the car. When you let up on the brake it surges forward again at the high rate of speed. I thought maybe it was the 19 degree weather as it did it 3 times on the way to work one day this week. Last night it was 41 degrees when i drove home and it did it every time. I almost rear ended someone as i couldn't get it to slow down to a normal speed even with the brake applied. I am afraid to drive the car. Happened on a major freeway and on rural county roads when going straight
