    Default Sudden Surge in car at Roundabout ?

    My missus was driving the car yesterday afternoon, and she claims that when she slowed down to the roundabout, the car suddenly surged and jerked, like the wheels started spinning too fast etc. Difficult to explain it from her, but is it transmission or electrics related ?

    You forgot the other option, missus related. Just joking .

    Stuck throttle cable/body perhaps, wouldn't be a surge, but if you use the brakes and the car keeps powering it might feel like a surge.

    Sticking throttle cable!

    Or maybe she momentarily left her foot on the accelerator while braking, maybe!

    When you say noise, like the engine revving or.....?
