Description of the problem	I used my remote start to warm-up my 2010 challenger rt. I left for work and traveled at 20 mph in my subdivision. I arrived at intersection to make at turn onto a 45 mph street and traveled about 1 mile to light stopped and made a right turn onto another 45 mph street (4 lanes). As i increased speed to 45 limit i felt the gas pedal pull away from my foot and the car began to quickly speed up. I tapped the accelerator and then the brake thinking that the pedal was stuck due to cold weather 18 degrees. It just kept increasing in speed. I immediately shifted into neutral to take torque off the drive train. I let it coast into the next side street and put it into park. The engine was idling at 4000 rpm. I shut it off and restarted it and it immediately jumped back up to 4000 rpm. I had to move it out of the way so i pulled it into a cul-de-sac riding the brake with both feet. Again, i shut it off, waited a little and restarted it. Again, it jumped to 4000 rpm. I called my wife and told her what had happened. She suggested that i bring it home and take our other car. I decided to try shutting it down again. Again when i started it jumped to 4000 rpm. I decided to take it home and rode the brake back to the stop in order to make the left turn to go home. The two lanes of traffic going that direction was non-stop so i elected to avoid going into a congested situation not knowing what it would do. I decided to go right since there were no cars going that direction to worry about hitting. Shortly after i made the turn the rpm's dropped to normal. I punched the accelerator to check it and make sure it would not repeat my startling experience. I thank god that my wife was not driving it at the time. She would have panicked and who knows what would have happened. I drove the car the rest of the way to work making sure that i kept a very safe distance between me and the car ahead. I sent chrysler an email about my experience. My car is now at a dealer being evaluated.
