My next problem....
I have an 06, 4.6L less than 18,000 miles on it. Kept inside. Well maintained. It had a known problem with the ABS when I purchased it which turned out to be two cracked exciter wheels. See the following for details.

After driving the car a few months it seems to have another strange problem. The car will accelerate when braking. I know your thinking my foot is not on the brake peddle but this is not the case. It only does this on braking and the engine will accelerate hard enough that I can see how I could easily have problems from it. It has happened twice now. Dry pavement both times. Last time I was maybe driving 5 MPH in a parking lot. Pulled into a spot and the thing takes off. Very lucky there was nothing in front of me as it to more than 10' to stop it. I have tried to reproduce the problem will no luck. I did a few searches and it appears like this is not unheard of.

I would like to suggest all these people just hit the wrong pedal but having had this happen to my car twice now, something is up....
Before I try and come up with a way to isolate the problem, has anyone here seen this and know the source?
