The engine surges when stopped at a light or the brake is applied. This has been going on for several months. I also almost ran into items in the garage as i pulled in slowly and then it surged. I took it to the dealer to have it inspected and they said it was the mass air flow sensor and throttle body having carbon build up. *tr

The first time happened when exiting the highway, where i came to a yield sign, i then proceeded to accelerate onto the road after yielding and the car would not accelerate and started to have jumpy motions and kept revving every time i would try to step on the gas pedal. I didn't think much of it at that time. Then one day on another…
