Vehicle loses power on acceleration sporadically. When car stopped and idle, engine RPM increases dramatically trying to override brakes.

Had cd player replaced, computer failure after that where the check engine light comes on, they replaced it - the the battery died for no reason, they replaced that, now my car is shifting out of control and surges when at stop light with my foot on the brake pedal, while driving 60M mph the car shifts into the same gear continuously and jolts then slows - they cant see a problem and say they cant help me, when they test drive it it's fine - the second I take it home from the dealership it starts up - it is dangerous to drive but since they cant find the problem from a test drive and computer test they dont know what to do except send me home with a dangerous car.

Car severly jolts when throttle is depressed at moderate speeds. Most noticeable when accelerating after a mild to long deceleration period, such as exiting an off ramp. Jolts have become more severe as of late. Already replaced tps. Dealer claims this is what it was. Problem started occuring immediately after leaving dealer. Dealer states this jolting is normal. Sometimes there is a momentary loss of power accompanied with jolt.
