| Description of the problem | At times, when in drive and when pressure is applied to brake vehicle suddenly accelerates forward for no reason requiring more pressure on brake until acceleration stops, but not before moving forward. This could be 3-5 feet depending how sudden the acceleration occurred. This has happened several times, with the last occurring where i hit the front end of our other suv. This scares us because what if a person is in front of us, etc... We have reported this to our dodge service and they told us that they have no reports of this. They also asked us if we could have had our foot on the accelerator? To me the way the accelerator pedal and brake pedal is it is almost impossible for this to happen in a automatic transmission type vehicle. This has happened at least 3 time prior to this with this vehicle. It also happened in a 2005 durango we had a few times. |
