Passengers reported they were about to depart when suddenly the engines accelerated as if they were going to depart. Soon after the crew announced they had lost brakes and had used reverse thrust to slow and stop the aircraft. The engines were shut down.
Emergency services responded and inspected the aircraft finding no leaks. Mobile stairs were attached to door R2, passengers disembarked onto the runway and were bussed to the terminal.
A replacement A319-100 registration N827UA reached Reno with a delay of 2:50 hours.
