Description of the problem	On september 29, 2005 at approximately 8:20am i was coming off of a highway exit ramp, when i came to a complete stop. Shortly after coming to that stop, i noticed that my engine began to accelerate (rev) and that the rpm's on the speedometer was on its way down from about 5-6k. Before i had a chance to look back up at the road, my vehicle lunged forward and struck the vehicle in front of me, causing extensive damage to the vehicle in front of me as well as mind. The impact of the collision was so powerful that the vehicle that i struck was pushed into a second vehicle, directly in front of the vehicle i struck. Immediately after the collision my vehicle's engine continued to accelerate (rev), making me shift the vehicle from drive to neutral. Once the vehicle was in neutral, my vehicle stalled out and was completely disabled. Once i restarted my vehicle, i noticed that my vehicle's check engine,throttle ignition and esp (electronic stability program) light/indicator were on. I moved my vehicle from the scene of the accident to a parking lot, about a ¼ mile down the street and awaited a tow truck, all the while with my vehicle hesitating to accelerate. This is was the third time this has happened. The first time was on 08/17/05, when i came to a complete stop at a highway off ramp, my vehicle lunged forward and then stalled out. Once able to turn on the vehicle, all the above indicator lights came on. I brought it to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong, "we were unable to replicate what you experienced." they also told me that this could have been a result of "bad gas." three hours after leaving the dealership (08/18/05) the same thing happened again. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership, again, and this time they told me, "something is wrong, we don't know what, but something is wrong." eventually, they replaced the vehicle's cpm (computer programming module) and everything seemed great , until 09/22/05 and the accident. *nm
