“While waiting in stopped traffic, he car suddenly tried to lurch forward, the idle began revving as if I was going extremely fast and I had to place all my weight on the brake pedal to keep the car from going forward. This has happened several times. One period of it occured every day from 11/5/96 to 11/30/96. Also at times the odormeter has suddenly started clicking miles very fast. In one mile stretch 200 miles were added to the odormeter. This stopped after complete stop.”
