| 2007 chrysler 300c - experienced three (3) separate incidents of accelerator failure. accelerator would not functioning when pressed down. all three incidents occurred in cold weather spread out over 18 month time span. engine was still running but accelerator would not function. chrysler dealer checked out vehicle but could not find an error code, was unable to duplicate problem and ended up taking no corrective action. each time i had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off and restart the engine to clear the problem. the car worked fine again after restarting. fortunately each incident occurred at low speed and was controllable. problem would be very serious if it occur during attempt to accelerate into high speed traffic such as an interstate on ramp. *tr | |||

| Car idling drops to 450rpm's then jumps to 700rpm's when at a stop without the air conditioning running. this has caused my car to lunge forward while pedestrians have been walking in front of it. if my foot is not firmly held on the brake the car could hit someone. i have been in traffic taking my foot off of the brake and the precise time the car decided to shoot up to the 700rpms almost causing me to rear end the traffic in front of me. the dealer said it was an alternator surge and the computer does not recognize any problem. the car should idle evenly at 600 to 700 rpm's i was told. *tr | |||
