Vehicle: 2005 kia spectra 5 automatic transmission. When coming to a stop (with foot off of gas pedal but on the brake pedal), engine accelerates on its own. This is the second time that I noticed this happened. I quickly pushed down strongly on the brake and placed the vehicle in park. The engine decelerated on it's own within about 5-10 secs.
