This has happened over ten times since purchasing the car new in April 2013. It always happens under the same conditions, while stopped (at a light, stop sign or in traffic) with my foot on the brake and the automatic transmission in "Drive". All of a sudden the engine races uncontrollably to to 7000 RPM (or destruction one of these days) before I can shut the ignition off with the key. While the engine is racing it doesn't seem to be in drive or the car would lunge forward (which it doesn't). The engine just revs uncontrollably and in an instant!
