Exclamation ENGINE RUNAWAY - (reving without touching throttle)

2SS - 6M - 5800 miles.

I was driving into work this morning and i had cruise on. there is a big hill coming into town so i hit the clutch (turns off cruise) and slid into neutral and coast. I had been coasting for about 5-10 seconds and my engine starts reving... i'm thinkking WHAT THE HECK?
it hits about 3K so i tap the gas pedal (in the old days something might be stuck, but since this is all electric i'm thinking the switch migh be going haywire). that tap on the pedal brought it to 5K and i let off. it falls back to about 3500 and then starts to climb again... i hit the key and shut it down.
i coasted a little farther and started it back up and it was fine.

i have no idea of what just happened, but if my wife had been driving she might have freaked out... beware, and tell others to be prepared.

i truly hope that this is a once only occurance and it affects no one else. (and not me again either)

i am going to call the dealer later today.

anybody else have this happen?

Windshield=10" vertical
mirror= 3 7/8" (that's almost 4") vertical
that means that the mirror is 38.75% the size of the vertical windshield...
it sure seems like the ratio could be better... just sayin....
