Acceleration complaints

Acceleration & cruise control

When trying to stop my 1998 lexus ls 400 in my garage this morning, the car surged forward. I slammed the brakes on even harder and the car surged even more forward. The wheels were spinning and I finally got the car totally stopped. I took it to the dealer after the incident and they were unable to find anything wrong. *Nm
