This was the first time I have ever used my cruise control since I have owned my car. I was traveling on a freeway; all of a sudden my car started to lose control. The engine was racing to a high RPM and accelerating. Two warning lights came on immediately, it was difficult to steer, and the cruise control would not disengage even when hitting the brake. While I tried regaining control of my car I tried turning the cruise control off. It would not turn off. I hit cancel on the steering column and it still wouldn't disengage. Finally, I kept braking and pulled off the side of the road. My car, while I had my foot on the brake, continued to rev up. I took my foot off the brake, but the cruise control was still engaged, even with the cruise control light now off, and the r.p.m's continued to be high, so I took the next exit. I put the car in park and turned off the engine for 15 minutes. The two warning lights are electronic stability control and electronic throttle control. The car is still having problems and the cruise control comes on after 40 MPH on its own and the warning lights come on.
I've owned the car for six and a half years now. At times the car just loses power without any warning. This happens intermittently and doesn't seem to matter what speed I'm going or what the road conditions are. It happens in good weather (dry roads) and bad weather (wet snowy roads). It's happened both with the cruise control on and off. It has happened at least 10 times to date. At times the car slows to almost a complete stop and then takes off again. At times it has come to a complete stop. I've had to turn the car off and back on again and it's fine. Lately when it happens if I press the gas petal repeatedly the car will take off again and be fine until the next time it happens. I've never had any check engine light or instrument panel light come on. I've taken it to the chrysler dealer a few times throughout my ownership but it never duplicates the problem for them (of course). The car now has 113,000 miles on it and is out of warranty (figures). This is very dangerous.

Excessive torque converter shudder when shifting gears (automatic transmission. Also notice "surging at all speeds, even with cruise control on. Most noticeably at lower RPM's. Dealer notes problem and recorded data related to problem. Claims chrysler has no fix for this problem. Gas mileage has dropped considerably as problem worsens.
