Hi!, I am a 33 year old mother of three boys. My husband, boys and I live up in the mountains of Montana. I drive a 97 Buick Park Avenue Ultra, its sweet, electric everything with heated leather seats (Oh Yeah!) Anyways back to the story.

This has happened off and on for the last 2 almost 3 years. I will be driving or parked somewhere (Its happened in both situations) and I will be rocking out to some hard rock or metal band and my volume will start turning up or down (i think it depends on whats playing) all by itself. I have 2 ways of controlling my volume, one is the actual dial on the stereo and one is a button on my steering wheel. This has happened too many times for my finger or hand to have accidently slipped.

This last new years holiday season I was taking my nephew to town and the volume turned all the way down, so I turned off the stereo and turned it back on, all was well for like 5 minutes or so then it just cranked the volume sky high. I freaked and turned off the stereo and asked my nephew (17) if he saw that the stereo just turned itself up and he said yeah I saw it.

So I decide to go see my freind while we are in town so she can see it to and while I am in her house my nephew is sitting in the car, well she was feeling crappy and didnt come out to the car (probably thinks I'm a loon) so I left the house and went back out to the car only to find my nephew literally fighting to turn down the volume, the knob was literally turning against his hand. He would turn it down and it would immediatly go up, it was weird especially when you can sit there and watch it turn.

We went home and never said anything about it, but as I said before it has happened many times in the last 2 - 3 years and I am glad that someone else got to see it too.
