well I installed the new TPS sensor and it seemed like it stopped the issue but yesterday the issue started happening again. Any ideas? Id really like to get this fixed and the dealership cant seem to figure it out.

My car does this very briefly when I'm pulling my car up the driveway into the garage. As I get to the lip of the garage floor my car will surge forward. I have to be careful because I feel like I will end up going through the back of the garage if I don't keep my foot hovering over the brake.

In my opinion, it has something to do with the way the vehicle senses when it is going uphill. When it senses uphill conditions, it gives the engine a little more throttle. I could be wrong. Just trying to help.

Mine does it completely randomly while driving.

I replaced my TPS sensor and it didn't resolve the issue. Well I also replaced my IAC sensor and cleaner out my MAF today. Hopefully these things will resolve the issue. I post my results in a few days.
