| Without warning at time my car will stall at a stop ie sign or traffic signal other time it will be stopped at a light & without warning the rpm will spike to over 2k rpm & neary caused an accident several time. there is no know reason for this in relation to temp, humidity etc or how long its been driven. can it be that the flex fuel system is getting confused by the alcohol in the fuel?? also experience at time when filling gas tank it spits back & causes an overflow of fuel on side of car & ground??no matter how slow or fast its put in. all this has started in the last 5k miles please find a fix before it becomes a accident. thanks *tr | |||

| The motor surges when in park & while idling at a stop sign...it has happened many times, and i have almost slammed into a pedestian because it catches me by surprise... i removed the floor mat to ensure that is not the problem (it has happened 3 times since), and the last time it happened (last week) the car was in park, and the engine roared as if i was flooring the accelerator, on it's own. | |||
