The consumer states that the vehicle will roll with foot on the brake-2 times/no accident or injury. On the last incident, stop and go, when the light turned green, the vehicle suddenly piled into a vehicle in front of him, causing damage and whiplash, wile consumer's foot was on the brake. The consumer measured 2 inches between the brake and grasp, the other vehicle measured a 4 inch separation. Most brake pedals are higher and away from the gas pedal there are other incidents
Intermittently vehicle would accelerate when brakes wer applied. Vehicle been to dealer on two occasions, and they were unable to duplicate the problem. Feel free to provide any further information.
Consumer had taken vehicle to dealer several times due to erratic engine behavior, however vehicle was never corrected, on one occasion while pulling out of a garage, up a ramp, the vehicle experienced sudden acceleration, causing it to jump a curb, hit a tree and then hit another vehicle, there were no injuries.

In hot weather car idles way too fast and is difficult to stop.
Traveling on I 95 south in the city of jacksonville fl - gas pedal stuck while at a speed of 65 and began increasing, it was necessary to use brake with all the force that was possible to control the car - it was at least 2 miles until we could exit the freeway - this was downtown and in an area of construction over a new bridge - there was not the opportunity to leave the road, place the car in neutral or do anything but ride the brakes until we could exit, west side dodge in jacksonville examined the car the morning of 9/17 and found a plastic cap that was used to cover a sensor had not been discarded and had found its' way to the linkage. We are asking the dealer here in south carolina to replace the roters and pads - is there anything else that I should be concerned with? Thank you for your time and concern.

On 3/4/01 my husband was driving the car with his foot on the brake going around 15 MPH when the car accelerated, he put the car in neutral to get it to stop. On 5/25/01 I was driving 45 MPH when I went to accelerate and the car would not, it felt like the car was in neutral and it was in drive. On 5/25/01 I went to pull into a parking spot with my foot on the barke when suddenly the car accelerated and was out of control. I went over 2 sets of parking blocks hit a sign and crashed into a parked car. After I hit the car my son who was a passenger in the car put the car in neutral to stop it.
The consumer applied the brake while approaching a stop light, the vehicle stopped then ,lurched forward three or four feet while the driver's foot was still on the brake, these incidents happens 10 days after purchase, on one occasion the driver applied the brake and nothing happen this caused the vehicle to hit a porch.
