My car accellerates on it own while driving. The machanics can not find anything wrong. But, it has happened to me at least six times in the pass six months. The only way to completely stop it is to turn the car off and wait awile before restarting. This is very scary for me. What could be causing this problem? I have read 59 such cases on the internet. Were there any recalls for this problem?
