| Sudden acceleration/ loss of brakes. vehicle accelerated to full throttle while entering from freeway onramp. the driver took foot off accelerator and vehicles accelerator pedal continued to move downward to full throttle and would not decelerate after an attempt to pump the accelerator pedal to try and get the pedal to release. the automobile was then put in neutral and the engine would not slow down in rpm's. the brakes were applied and an attempt was made to stop the vehicle and the brakes were not functioning properly with the automobile coming to a very long and slow stop white trying to maneuver the automobile to the side of the road. once the vehicle was brought to a stop the motor was still at an extreme rpm level. the motor was turned off at the ignition switch and the engine finally stopped running. after sitting at the side of the road for sometime the vehicle was restarted and driven to a safe location where the driver let the vehicle sit for an hour or two and restarted for the final drive home(about five miles). the vehicle was taken to the dealers service department the next business day. the dealer ran a scan on the vehicle and diagnosed that the event occurred as stated. the dealer consulted chrysler service center and were recommended to replace the throttle and brake modules for the sudden acceleration and braking problems. the vehicle parts are at the dealer with the vehicle. the vehicle was test driven by the dealer and the customer was told the vehicle was ready. when the customer asked if the vehicle was repaired and safe the service department representative said we installed the recommended parts by chrysler service and would not say if the vehicle was repaired properly or safe from the sudden acceleration/brake problem. the vehicle as of today 12-24-2008 remains at the dealer. *tr | |||
