2001: “I came to a stop in heavy interstate traffic (35e north in st. Paul). Just as the car was almost stopped, it revved-up/surged forward. I was afraid that the brake would not hold and we would hit the car in front of us. Three young girls were in the car with me. The car has been clunking into gear at low speeds lately, hesitating from a cold start, almost cutting out when idling at stop lights and then revving up only to start the cycle over again. None of this happens at higher speeds. …”
