My 2007 dodge caliber sxt has a problem with the throttle. The pedal sticks, causing the accelerator to raise the rpms to about 5000 while driving. I noticed a copper bushing on my floor mat but had no idea that it came from the pedal assy. I will take my vehicle in tomorrow. This problem is occurring very frequent and I am afraid that this will cause some serious injury or death. *tr updated 05/20/10.

2007 dodge caliber gas pedal. With 50,600 miles. While driving approx 65 MPH on a 3 lane highway the gas pedal accelerated to over 90 MPH when the brakes and emergency brakes could not stop the car only slowed it slightly when I reached the shoulder of the road across 3 lanes of traffic I put the car in neutral and turned off the car to fully stop the vehicle. The gas pedal was replaced and explained that it was the cause for the excessive speed.
