I slowed with my brakes, but they soon faded and i found myself out of control until i found the presence of mind to turn the ignition to the off…

Vehicle accelerates (surges) on its own and braking does not remedy the problem. This has happened several times when the cruise control is not being used. It also is not attributed to the floor mats as we have carefully checked the positioning of our mats. *tr

Several problems with lurching, sudden acceleration, and high idle. When stopped with foot squarely on the brake (and only the brake), there will be a sudden lurch that is often strong enough to overcome the brake, nearly causing several accidents with the car in front of me.
