| As i'am driving down the road the accelerator sticks, and i can't undo it. the van starts slowing down i have to pull to the side of the road to stop the vehicle, and to try and get the accelerator unstuck . this has happened multiple times. sometimes the vehicle's engine shuts down on its own when this happens. sometimes i have to stop the engine to get the accelerator to unstick. i have noticed that the majority of the time that this happens is when i'am driving in between 55 to 60 mph. it happens so frequently that i am scared to drive in multiple lane traffic in fear that it will stick when i'am in a middle lane and start slowing down and somebody hit me from behind or be stuck in the middle with no way out because it wont start. when the accelerator sticks the vehicle starts slowing down and i start to pull to the side of the road and start to try and stop it. if i don't pull to the side of the road the vehicle will stop in the middle of the road and possibly shut down. i have read other reports of the same thing happening with the same model. i feel that this should be addressed before someone gets seriously hurt or worse killed. thanks | |||

| Air conditioning failed around 50,000 miles. had system recharged and started to fail again in a couple of months. by that time, weather started to become cold. by 80,000 miles (following summer), told that the rear air evaporator part was leaking and while dodge did not recall the part, they extended the warrant to i think - 75,000 miles. the part took about 2 months to come in and cost over $1,600 to install. i was never given notice of the extended warranty. driver side automatic door no longer works for the second time (first around 50,000 second time around 75,000). rack and pinion needed replacement around 90,000 miles. that cost around $1,500. fuel guage is about 1/4 tank off in the bad direction. can no longer trust guage under half a tank. paint started to peel and metal underneath rust around 50,000 miles. | |||
