Sudden burst of throttle while backing up

Hi guys,

This happened once before today, but was less (?) violent.

I was at the driveway, started the engine, put the auto gear box in reverse, and while slowly backing up, I got a sudden burst of throttle!

The car reversed faster even though I had my foot on the breaks, never touching the accelerator...

Wtf ?!

I had to quickly press the breaks hard for the engine's revs to go down, and the car to stop.

Second time it has happened, but never a set scenario.

Going to the dealers will only make me look like a freak, since reproducing this is a biatch.

Please advise.

D.
