| Merging onto highway pressed accelerator to floor. car went into passing mode, car accelerated, i removed foot from pedal, throttle would not return to idle. car kept accelerating to 90 mph. had to use brake to stop car and shut it off. i manually returned throttle cable (it was stuck). 3 days later same problem but this time i put car in neutral and stepped on accelerator, quickly, several times and car returned to idle. i have factory installed floor mat, no obstruction under accelerator. car has not been in accident. emailed chrysler they said that i should take it to certified dealer. dealer said that the cable was defective and that it would cost over $150 to replace. no accident but very scary events | |||
