 Vehicle accident due to sudden acceleration. mjs

 I had my car in cruise control, set at 70mph, and i was cresting a hill when my car lost power. i took it off cruise control but it would not run. it would surge then slow down. it seemed to have vapor locked. i had many close calls with other cars because i was in heavy traffic. i had to drive on the shoulder with my flashers on until i could get to a gas station. i shut the car off for 2 hours and it was ok. it has done this several times , i have had many repairs on it and it still is not fixed.
