Consumer Description

THE CAR STARTS ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT A KEY!! IT DOES NOT HAVE REMOTE START, BUT I WILL BE WALKING AWAY FROM MY PARKED SHUT OFF CAR OR UP IN MY KITCHEN AND HEAR MY CAR SOUNDING LIKE THE PEDAL IS DOWN TO THE MEDAL. IT'S NOT JUST RUNNING, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BLOW-UP! IT'S HAPPENED 5 TIMES, MOST RECENTLY 2 DAYS AGO. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY IS RACING THE ENGINE BUT IT'S IN PARK AND THE CAR WAS OFF. SOMETIMES IT'S HOURS LATER, OTHER TIMES WITHIN 20 MIN OF SHUT OFF. IT SCARES ME THAT IT WILL START DRIVING OR CATCH FIRE IN MY GARAGE!! THE CAR LITERALLY TURNS ITSELF ON!! AND IT'S NOT JUST ELECTRICAL BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING!! I HAS 65000 MILES AND STARTED ACTING WEIRD AROUND 20000 WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. CAR WOULD JUST SHIFT DOWN MID-DRIVE. IT WAS SCARING ME THAT MY CAR'S ENGINE WOULD SHIFT ITSELF DOWN D/TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. NOW IT'S ON AND OFF ON IT'S OWN!! PLEASE HELP!! *TR
