PERIODICALLY WE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH A STICKY GAS PEDAL. AFTER REPEATEDLY STEPPING HARD ON THE PEDAL IT TAKES OFF WITH A JERK. *TR

I HATE TO JUMP ON THE "STUCK GAS PEDAL " BAND-WAGON HERE BUT I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH. WHEN I GET IN THE VAN AND START IT THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK IN THE "UP" POSITION. NOW, ONCE I PRESS HARD ON IT, IT BREAKS IT FREE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON IT BREAKS LOOSE AND CAUSES THE VAN TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. NOW, IT DOES THIS VERY OFTEN, I WOULD SAY IT DOES IT ABOUT 60 TO 70% OF THE TIME. ALSO, IT WILL DO IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR EXAMPLE. IT WILL DO IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, THEN AGAIN AFTER I STOP TO GET GAS, THEN AGAIN WHEN I GET IN IT TO HEAD HOME FOR THE DAY. ANYTIME, WHEN I STOP AND SHUT OFF THE MOTOR, I RUN THE RISK OF IT GETTING STUCK WHEN I START IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY KNEW "EXACTLY" WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, NOW THIS TELLS ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I HAVE NEVER LODGED A COMPLAINT ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS, AND IF THEY KNOW "EXACTLY" WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO WAS CASS BURCH CHRYSLER VALDOSTA GA. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT AROUND 25,000 TO 30,000 MILES. THE VAN NOW HAS 50,000 MILES. *TR
