| Description of the problem | Repeated accident's of my vehicle going from idle (1000 rpm) to 1500-2000 rpm while vehicle stopped and in gear. Requires significant effort to prevent vehicle from surging ahead. Has occurred when vehicle is entering street from driveway, at a pedestrian crosswalk and at a traffic light. Local dealer placed monitor in car and it recorded four instances in a month. Damiler-chrysler engineering claims no vehicle problem, driver is supposedly stepping on both accelerator and brake. This is not correct, both driver in our family have experienced problem. Car is unsafe. *jb |
