| A small brass bushing fell on my right foot one day while driving. i picked it up and put it in the console cup holder. a few days later while accelerating onto the highway the gas pedal stuck and the engine revved. this has happened a few times since. i called chrysler to check if my caliber was covered under the gas pedal recall. i was told the recall only covered vehicles from a certain date range. my caliber was manufactured 2/06. | |||
