This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle was in drive and it suddenly lunged forward while going around a bend. Another time consumer slightly accelerated, and applied brakes and vehicle lunged forward. Consumer slammed on brakes hard to keep from lunging forward. Dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
Since my initial report on this vehicles sudden acceleration we have had it back to the dealer for repair or correction of this condition. Dealer could not find any codes, or defect. Dealer claims that Chrysler knows nothing of this problem even though your site lists many other instances of the same type. They could offer no help to the service department in resolving this serious and potentially life threatening situation. How many reports of the same type have to be filled before an investigation of this condition takes place?
I was cruising at 50 mph when suddenly the vehicle started to accelerate uncontrollably, I stepped on the brakes, but the vehicle continued to accelerate..I had to turn of the engine to stop. And when I tried to restart the vehicle.it just revved really high..I check the floormats and it was in place the gas pedal was not stuck in the floormat.
