My accelerator stuck in my 98 Dodge Caravan. The throttle cable was frayed badly. The tow truck driver mentioned he towed about 50 Dodge Caravan in the last year with the same problem. The dealer where we got the part had "heard complaints about the accelerator." Since this vehicle is the best selling mini van and moms, dads and usually a load of kids are in the back, this problem needs to be investigated and determine whether a recall is warrented.
Accelerator pedal is spaced too far apart from the console. Foot slipped & became wedged between console & pedal. Vehicle had taken off due to misalignment of pedal. Dealer can not do anything.
Accelerator sticks, causing consumer to have trouble controlling vehicle's speed. Cannot make the vehicle speed up, but when it speeds up the accelerator sticks, and it is hard to slow down. Dealer has not been contacted.
