Description of the problem	When driving the engine seems to sputter, stall, jerk, rev the rpm at random when driving. It happens on the highway going 70 or in a neighborhood going 25 while driving or starting to go from a stop. It will jerk really hard like it is going to stall out but no lights come on the dash to indicate something is wrong and i have taken it into the dealership many times and they tell me it is normal, i've never had any vehicle behave this way except when i was 15 learning how to drive a manual transmission and that wasn't the fault of the vehicle. It also will while in park randomly rev the rpms when nothing is being used in the vehicle, if i then put it in drive and back to park it usually settles down but not always, sometimes i have to shut it off and back on. The jerking and sputtering while driving has gotten a lot worse in the last few months, over the past few years it would randomly do it but it happens more and more now every time i drive and i am conscerned that one day it will stall out and cause a major accident. I have inquired many times about this to no avail from 3 different dealerships.
