I have noticed that when under heavy acceleration (such as passing a car) I tend to get a strong intake of my X's own exhaust fumes in the cabin.

Car experienced unintended acceleration in a shopping center parking lot. 4th time this has occurred (very intermittent). Car was stopped while in drive waiting for traffic in front of me when the engine starting revving...had to keep my foot down on the brake to avoid hitting the fellow in front of me. Forced the gear shift back into neutral then revving subsided. Took car to dealership who thought problem might be related to intermittent disruption between electronic control master and power control master modules..dealer said they "relearned" the connection between the two modules.
