2 separate incidents (9 mos. Apart), when applying brakes to stop for traffic light, car would not stop - engine revved very high, put gear shift in neutral, engine revving out of control - had to turn ignition off to stop car. The first time this occurred, I very narrowly avoided rear-ending car in front of me - took evasive action by moving into turning lane.
