Description of the problem	I was driving my car to the local post office to deposit mail in an outside mailbox/receptacle. The location of the mailbox was in a parking lot with a drive through . I was traveling 5-10 miles an hour. As i approached the mailbox preparing to deposit the mail, the car "revved" up and i felt or experienced a surge in which i overshot the mailbox by 8-10 feet. I applied extra pressure to the brake. Then, i felt the engine slow down to normal. At that point, i had control of the car. I had to back the car up to get to the mailbox i was frightened wondering what could have caused this to happen. I was not as willing to drive my car after this occurrence as i could not be sure that the surge would not occur again. Not knowing what to do, i lessened the time i drove the car.
