| Description of the problem | We have a 2007 dodge caravan sxt. On two separate occasion, i was at an intersection, with my foot on the brakes waiting for the light to change, and then the idling of the rpm started to climb very high, and the van started to vibrate, then when the light changed my accelerator pedal would not engage, it was stuck for a good 5 minutes. After which i kept pressing the pedal, and then it finally loosen, i heard a something popping loose when it happened and then the accelerator zoomed so fast when depressed. The second time it happened, same thing happened and then it got stuck again. The dealer service center, said that they could not locate the problem. Has anyone else encountered this type of problem. I know that when i descending a steep hill, i can feel alot of vibration on my brakes. Also my side doors does not open with the handle or the key remote, or overhead remote. You need to play around with the door handle on the outside for awhile before you can get it opened. |
