The only un-intended acceleration my car has ever showed me is when I was going through a car wash.....in drive ( roll mode ) and I forgot it was already in drive at the end and I hit the stalk to put it in drive - and it went into cruise control which was set for 35mph.
I didn't expect the acceleration but that was my fault. I forgot that I was already in drive and all I had to do was to hit the accelerator.
I made that mistake "ONCE" and after over 100 car washes I have never done that again.
BTW...I never put my car in neutral going through a car wash. I remember over a year ago...I had to step on the brake to get it into drive ( from neutral ) and shut the entire car wash line down as the rollers.....well anyway....it wasn't a good thing. I'm not sure with all of the updates since - if you have to still hit the brake to get from neutral to drive. I haven't tried it lately.
