 Description of the problemI was entering on a busy interstate when my 2012 dodge grand caravan r/t got to about 50+ mph the gas pedal kept accelerating and would not stop the rpm gage hit 6 the only way i got it to stop was to put the vehicle in neutral and pull of the road the rmp's kept going as did the engine i turned the van off in neutral and put it in park. When i started the van back up it instantly started doing the same thing in park. I turned the van back off and waited about 5 minutes and when i restarted the van it seemed normal. Took it to the dealership that day on a saturday they called me monday and said it happened with their technicians driving and he removed the floor mat that had been in there for 2 and a half years and it was fine they told me the floor mat got stuck under the pedal! Common sense says it would stop the pedal from being pushed down not pull the pedal to the floor. But what do i know right!?!?!?! I am just a female and mother to 2 small children who were with me when it happened. It did this again with my husband driving on a 6 lane road when he pulled out from a stop. This time the floor mat had not been there. Chrysler needs to do something about this matter before a run away vehicle kills someone! They keep telling me they have no idea what the problem is caused from because no codes come up on diagnostics. However if you search the issue online it points to the tipm and the fuel pump not shutting off. The safety issue of this is pretty severe if you ask me. A vehicle that accelerates on its own is pretty serious and dangerous not only for my family but to the general public as well! I do not want to just get rid of the vehicle it is the first brand new vehicle my family has owned and even purchased the extended warranty with the hopes of keeping the vehicle for at least 6 years and now this is not a safe family vehicle! Please help with this issue!
