| Description of the problem | On about 5 different times my accelerator pedal has gotten stuck and accelerating to about 90 plus mph while on the highway. I had to stomp on it several times to get it unstuck. I have seen where other people have had the same problem as mine. However the dodge dealer in baytown texas said they have not gotten any recalls on this problem and can not do anything for me until there is a recall. Also i was told about the airbag recall and they also have told me that they will not do any repairs until i receive a recall notice by mail which i still have not received. We have had problems receiving our mail due to new mail carriers put the wrong mail in different mail boxes. So what can i do to address this problem before i am in and accident and injury or kill someone and or myself. I have also had some issues with my steering. |
