Description of the problem	That saturday i had my 30,000 mile service at estate motors in goldens bridge, ny. The dealer also did an "open recall". They deducted $20 from my bill to get a car wash. I drove directly to a car wash on route 202 in new milford, ct. About 3:00 pm, i was third in line and as the two cars ahead edged forward, turning left to go in, i nudged my gas pedal and the vehicle took off like a rocket, glanced off the car bumper ahead, ran over electric equipment and a 3 foot tall tree, went halfway over a 3 foot high wall and was stopped by smashing into a tree. Nobody was hurt. I had kept my seat belt on and was only slightly bruised. At first i thought i must have done something wrong, as i told the police, but realized later that was impossible. I am a good and careful driver as all records will attest. I could not have jammed my foot down on the gas pedal. I later found that the "open recall" had to do with a cam solenoid, which is involved with the flow of gasoline into the motor. I also found on google three almost identical incidents reported on this particular model and year. Take a look. I find it very hard to believe this is just a coincidence.
