Description of the problem	On october 3rd, at 5:26pm, i entered the vehicle, stepped on the brake and shifted the car into d to pull forward out of a parking space (i backed in). As i gently applied the accelerator pedal to ease forward (and turn left) out of the parking space to head down the parking aisle, the car moved forward much faster than expected so i let off the pedal. The vehicle stops accelerating after letting off the pedal. I try pressing the pedal gently again and the car lurches forward pretty quickly as if i depressed the pedal about halfway down (i did not). Letting go of the accelerator pedal didn't seem to kick in regenerative braking so i pressed on the brake to slow the car down to a speed appropriate for a parking lot. After using the brake, the problem never reappeared and i resumed my drive although i was shaken a bit by the incident. It's almost as if the "throttle map" was messed up for a few seconds asking the car to deliver much higher current than it should have at a 5-10% pedal position.
