i was on the road when my manual transmission patriot begin accelerating on its own. i pushed the clutch to unengage the wheels. but the vehicle was burning the engine. i powered off the car as soon as i could, and tried to turn on the vehicle. everything was ok. so i got back to the road. that incredible issue was happening again and again for the whole trip to my house. when i take the car to the dealership the next day. i was not able to prove what happened. i drove the car for one year after that day, and never happened again. really weird.
