WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IT WILL ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE BY ITSELF WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY PATTERN AS THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY - WHEN I AM DRIVING ALONG, SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER, WHEN I AM STOPPED, BASICALLY AT ANY TIME. DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IF THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM HAPPENING. HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS AT LEAST 20 TIMES. LAST TIME WAS 1/21/10. NO MATS IN VEHICLE FOR PEDAL TO STICK AND PEDAL IS NOT STICKING. HAPPENS WHEN DON'T EVEN TOUCH PEDAL IN NEUTRAL ENGINE REVS UP…
