AFTER COMING HOME FROM A TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE, ABOUT 5 MILE TOTAL ROUND TRIP; I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ABOUT TO MOVE THE GEAR LEVER FROM DRIVE TO PARK, THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD HITTING A METAL STORAGE SHELF. THE CAR SURGED 5 FEET FORWARD WHILE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED FROM IDLE (ABOUT 800) TO 2500 INSTANTLY AND UNCOMMANDED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE INCREASE OR INPUT. IT DAMAGED THE FRONT OF MY CAR. OUR FREESTYLE DOES THIS OFTEN. I NORMALLY CAN CATCH IT. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED OR WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. IT HAPPENS BOTH IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO DISCONTINUE LETTING MY 18 AND 16 YEAR OLD SON AND DAUGHTER DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE DANGER INVOLVED IN THESE UNCONTROLLED SURGES. *TR
