Please fill out your profile, given the age of your vehicle I would consider taking to the dealer and leaving it there untill the problem is resolved.

If it was one of my machines at work I would say you have a shorted wire somewhere or a bad snubber as gen x dad suggests. I would hate to have that problem I would get shot at in some the areas I drive in.
