I was entering on a busy interstate when my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T got to about 50+ mph the gas pedal kept accelerating and would not stop the RPM gage hit 6 the only way I got it to stop was to put the vehicle in neutral and pull of the road the rmp's kept going as did the engine I turned the van off in neutral and put it in park. When I started the van back up it instantly started doing the same thing in park. I turned the van back off and waited about 5 minutes and when I restarted the van it seemed normal. Took it to the dealership that day on a Saturday they called me Monday and said it happened with their technicians driving and he removed the floor mat that had been in there for 2 and a half years and it was fine they told me the floor mat got stuck under the pedal! common sense says it would stop the pedal from being pushed down not pull the pedal to the floor. But what do I know right!"!?!"! I am just a female and mother to 2 small children who were with me when it happened. It did this again with my husband driving on a 6 lane road when he pulled out from a stop. This time the floor mat had not been there. Chrysler needs to do something about this matter before a run away vehicle kills someone! they keep telling me they have no idea what the problem is caused from because no codes come up on diagnostics. However if you search the issue online it points to the tipm and the fuel pump not shutting off. The safety issue of this is pretty severe if you ask me. A vehicle that accelerates on its own is pretty serious and dangerous not only for my family but to the general public as well! I do not want to just get rid of the vehicle it is the first brand new vehicle my family has owned and even purchased the extended warranty with the hopes of keeping the vehicle for at least 6 years and now this is not a safe family vehicle! please help with this issue!

Dealer performed recall "P25", rear vent window switch disconnected. Dealer still does not have stock to replace switch. Was told on 06/22/2015 I was number 41 of 60 on a waiting list for the switch. Was also told the switches have been on back order for the last 3 weeks so they are not even getting the 3-5 switches a week they had been receiving. More than 10 months and still no fix per recall 14V-234, recall incomplete!

Each time I have had the car serviced (about every 6 months), I ask that the door locking mechanism be fixed, but the problem continues and worsens. About 25% of the time, the doors all lock while the engine is off, sometimes as I'm getting out of the car and while the driver-side door is still open. I'm now paranoid about forgetting to have my keys in hand when I leave the car. It could be dangerous.
