WHILE TRAVALING ON I-85 NORTH, IN CABARRUS COUNTY TOWARD GREENSBORO , NC, A WHITE MINI VAN STARTING RIDING CLOSE TO MY CAR FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND THEN PULLED BACK. APPROX 15 SECONDS LATER MY STEREO SWITCHED STATIONS AND THEN GOT VERY LOUD. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY DISPLAY SCREEN, VOLUME, STATION SELECTION, OFF/ON...ETC. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I SUSPECT THAT MY CAR STEREO WAS HANKED BY THE OCCUPANTS OF THE WHITE MINI VAN.
