Suddenly my car developed a new issue of sudden acceleration while stopped/idle. While my foot is on gas, the car will suddenly jerk forward/rpm increase. However, so far while my foot is on the brake, i haven't moved as far as i can tell but fearful it might happen while driving or it will drive forward even with foot on brake.

I am not sure if this is related to takata recall. But the electronics controlling the air bag and cruise control are not functioning!
