Description of the problem | Bought a 2006 chrysler 300, within a week, engine and brake light came on. Took to back to dealer, they replaced front brakes and rotors and said machine said multiple misfires due to bad gas. Car drove like it wanted to stall and would accelerate on its on. Within a couple of days engine light came back on. Took car back again to dealership. Service department said they could not duplicate the problem. Again within days engine light was back on and it had accelerated a couple of times by itself. I was in a parked position, put car in drive a barely touched gas pedal and it accelerated on its on and i hit a pole. I called chrysler customer service. They towed the car and did an evaluation on the car and they said they could not find anything that would cause the car to accelerated on its own. They were 2 codes multiple misfires and sensor voltage high. This vehicle has accelerated on its own, my husband and i have both experienced the acceleration. |
