Ongoing issue with gas pedal sticks intermittently at idle since November 2009. Have to press gas pedal very hard to unstick causing vehicle to jump forward or backward rapidly.
I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica that emits a strong natural gas smell. The problem started 3 days ago (2/20/10). I went to the Chrysler dealership today to fix the problem. They confirmed the smell of natural gas, but could not offer a solution to the problem. They drove the car and upon braking and acceleration the fumes were emitted. The Chrysler mechanics said that 'they could not find anything mechanical that would cause the smell.' My lungs hurt and my nerves are really getting bad! just by driving around trying to find someone who can fix it! I drive with the windows down and I'm still affected by the fumes. We just had a snow storm and I'm freezing in my car, trying to breathe! I live in detroit, we are the hardest hit by this recession and I need a car to keep my job! I have to travel to my customers. I don't have another vehicle, nor can I afford one. Please help.
Engine light came on, had vehicle checked and it turned out to be an evap leak. Bought a new gas cap first, that didn't fix it, mechanic pulled the gas tank and found the fuel pump line had cracked, evidently the gas tank is plastic and sunk in at the top causing the plastic line on the pump to crack. This is potentially a very dangerous situation we had to add some extra line to fuel line just to put the tank back up and keep from braking the new fuel pump.
