On interstate at 65 & while accelerating to pass slower car my accelerator stuck at full throttle. Braked to control speed and after short while pedal unstuck and normal operation. This happened again the next day but, although gas pedal was stuck to floor, the vehicle slowed to about 60. Exited highway to service area with pedal still stuck at ft & shut down. Car wouldn't restart with pedal at ft. After several minutes, the pedal "popped" back and restarted with normal operation thereafter. I each instance the cruise control was probably on and a large red symbol appeared on the annunciator panel which extinguished when the accelerator pedal " popped" back up. No messages appeared in the driver information center. This is a very dangerous condition which internet searches show is occurring to other dodge / chrysler minivans and needs to be addressed.

After the engine warms up and at speeds around 45-50 the acceleration sticks as if the cruise control is on. The only way to stop it is to put the car in neutral then drive,or shut the engine off. I disconnected the servo to the cruise control to eliminate the cruise as the cause. The problem is intermittent but occurs often.

The speed control failed to turn off when the cancel button was pressed. The speed control was turned on and the indicator/light showed that the cruise control was working. As I approached a stoplight at about 60 MPH, I pressed the cancel button but nothing happened. At this time I saw that the cruise indicator was not showing. I pressed the cancel several times but the cruise was still engaged. I then tapped the brake and the cruise control disengaged. From this time on when I tried the cruise control it would sometimes turn on and sometimes not. I took the vehicle to the local dodge dealer and they replaced the switch. Problem I see is that the cruise was engaged, without any indicator light, and would not cancel.
