My "06" has done that forever. A little surge, she wants to run LOL. I have felt that there is no danger, so why take it in. Once you take it in...it will want to return. Mine has never been in for any service whatsoever. Knock on wood! Well, oil changes etc. of course. Todd (Uma)

I've been wondering if this was more of a "surging" than a "revs up" which I would say are two different things. Mine has done a surging a few times when stopping for a light and then "rocked" a bit as if it might stall between "surges" (as if that makes sense 
) The times it's done this were right after shutting of the AC as I was braking for a light and braking for a light right after accelerating. Both times it was like the computer was doing a "WTF dude, make up your mind".... also both times were before I switched to 93 octane.... hasn't done it since.
May or may not be what the OP is talking about.....

Again like my stop light dealio, it's not all the time. I've literally wrote a blow by blow account for the techs. Time of day, speed, road details, temp etc etc etc. Does no good. Techs these days are rely so much on scanning for codes, they dont do anything if there isnt a code. I asked for a reflash, they said it didnt need it. I asked again, adding what can it hurt. Well it didnt happen. I basically have resolved that it will have to break before anything can be done. I gave them the car, a full tank of gas and expressly told them to take the car home, drive it all over hell and back. I dont expect any gas in it -4 days later, they drove it 25 miles and have no clue still. I drive it with the tech, re-create the surge and it's OBVIOUS - dude says he didnt feel a thing. Same thing about the console that's noisey. I says "you dont hear that console creaking?" he says no not really, its the leather creaking, etc. WTF????
