    Twice i have encountered un-commanded rapid acceleration while driving at approximately 45mph. I was able to get the acceleration back under control by pressing and holding the brakes. It has happened in the same location, i'm guessing it is some sort of radio signal interference.

    The check engine light blinks off and on,traction and stability goes off then back on ,engine runs and idles rough and sometimes shifts hard.this happens while driving and sitting still (for the lights and rough idle) not the hard shifting.
