After stopping behind a line of stopped cars, I slowly removed my foot from brake pedal (have automatic transmission) and looked into my review mirror as car in front of me began moving. Suddenly I heard my engine race and immediately slammed into vehicle in front of me before I could react. My car looks like I hit something going at least 35 mph. The vehicle in front of me was only 6 - 8 feet in front of me when I had started to remove my foot off my brake pedal. All happened so quickly - was as if my car just "leaped" forward. State police and tow operator both started up my vehicle and noted that engine racing while throttle pedal was in normal position. I did not receive a driving violation ticket because of noted throttle issue. Toyota unintended acceleration issue now with Tiburons?
