| Description of the problem | On interstate at 65 & while accelerating to pass slower car my accelerator stuck at full throttle. Braked to control speed and after short while pedal unstuck and normal operation. This happened again the next day but, although gas pedal was stuck to floor, the vehicle slowed to about 60. Exited highway to service area with pedal still stuck at ft & shut down. Car wouldn't restart with pedal at ft. After several minutes, the pedal "popped" back and restarted with normal operation thereafter. I each instance the cruise control was probably on and a large red symbol appeared on the annunciator panel which extinguished when the accelerator pedal " popped" back up. No messages appeared in the driver information center. This is a very dangerous condition which internet searches show is occurring to other dodge / chrysler minivans and needs to be addressed. *tt |
