Not normally, I can't really reproduce the fault. This happened only
twice throughout the 9 years I had the car, and that's in the last 2
months.

During the incident, the timeline was more like: 1. press brake
approaching intersection 2. car starts to slow down normally 3.
engine revs up suddenly, surging the car forward, all the while
holding the brake 4. press brake harder, car comes to a stop, with
the revs coming down 5. revs back to normal.

I'm starting to think it's some sort of sensor issue. If it was some
mechanical snag between the control linkages it should happen way more
predictably.

Thanks for your thoughts!
