 Description of the problemMy parents bought a 2010 dodge caravan new, and we were on a family road trip in california this month. Mileage was only at 3500 (m/l) when we left washington. It had just been serviced at the dealership before we left. Used cruise control on i-5 south through washington, oregon, and california. The cruise control was fussy and inconsistent, but functional more or less. After arriving at family member's house in ca., never used cruise control while driving because of windy roads. On tuesday, june 17th, 2014 (during our trip) , i was heading east on hwy. 12, west of lodi, ca. There was a long merge lane, and i was accelerating in to traffic. I was not using cruise control. As i pulled on to the highway, the accelerator pedal went out from under my foot and stuck to the floor. I put both feet on the brake, and the engine was roaring, red-lined. I remembered hearing on the news to put the vehicle in neutral, which i did. The brakes worked, and i pulled over on the shoulder of the highway. The motor was still revving, so i then turned off the engine. After several minutes of conversation with family (and prayers of thanks!!!), we continued on our way. On thursday, june 19th, i took the van to a dodge dealer in folsom, ca. To have the vehicle diagnosed. Mileage was at 4308 in folsom, so vehicle was basically new, but off warranty. The only thing they found was a transmission code for overheating 6 starts ago. They said everything checked out fine. I have checked a few websites, and we are not the first people to experience this accelerator problem. I am so thankful that my 80 year old mom was not driving the vehicle when this happened, or there could have been catastrophic results. I really hope chrysler takes this seriously and finds a solution for this, before people die from this kind of incident. Scary.
