This happens all the time but it's random and happens even while I'm driving. . . Or when the car is running for a few minutes in park. . . Random. . . While the episode is happening sometimes I hear this fast paced tapping and "movement" behind my dash & steering wheel. . . I've tried everything I can to solve this problem and now I find out my car has recalls. . . My car dealership never informed me it was on a recall list. . . Please help before something bad happens as I'm driving. . . I feel like this issue could potentially cause my car to shut down or something could blow up. . . I just don't know what else to do and I don't want to accidentally hurt someone or myself if I potentially lose control of the vehicle or the brakes completely stop me without me applying them & I wreck or stall going down the highway or interstate. . . Very concerned and worried about what to do next. . . When this isn't happening to the car it behaves & drives perfect. . . It seems possessed or is having a seizure.
