Description of the problem	I was driving in heavy traffic at appx: 35-40mph. On us interstate #66. The weather was clear, and the road was relatively level. As the other cars slowed, i took my foot off the accelerator but the car surged forward. Updated 01/11/17lj i --literally--had to stand on the brake as the engine surged. I managed to push the shifter into park. The engine continued to race but, when i pumped the accelerator several times, the engine speed dropped back to idle. I did not hit any other vehicle or object. I have had two (2) similar incidents in the last 5-6 months-- but this is the first time that i reported it--to both nhtsa and toyota. I took it to the toyota dealership, expecting a quick fix but instead, the dealership personnel became defensive, claimed that the well known history of toyota acceleration problems was a fraud. Nevertheless, they had a preprinted" unexpected acceleration" report form which they filled out with my "verbatim" accounts. Updated 06/13/18jb
