I was in line at tim horton's, I had ordered, but not yet paid. I had my foot on the brake (car was stationary), and the as the car in front of me moved up, I depressed the brake to roll the car forward. The car began accelerating on it's own. With my foot still on the brake, I pushed the brake to the floor at which point the ABS struggled to slow the acceleration down. The result of the incident is my car only came to a stop once I hit the car in front of me. I looked down once the car stopped moving and clearly only saw my foot on the brake with the brake pressed all the way to the floor. Luckily the only real damage was some flaked paint on the front of my car. The other car, as well as myself decided the issue was not worth reporting to the insurance companies. I immediately called my dad, who told me to call the dealer. I then called the dealer whom said do not drive the car, and get the car towed to them for diagnosis. The car was towed to the dodge/jeep dealership in which I bought the car in 2007. This issue has never happened before, in the 11 years I've owned the car.

My car will not accelerate over 40mph. I went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. I looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. I contacted dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.

I was driving home from work on the freeway and had to change lanes to go around a slower vehicle. As I depressed the accelerator pedal it snapped off and fell on the floor causing a hazardous condition as I could no longer control the speed of the vehicle. I was able to make it home by leaning down and depressing the pedal with my hand while holding on to the steering wheel with the other. I contacted dodge to try and get reimbursed for the repair that I made myself but they said they could not do anything for me. There are numerous complaints contained in on line forums about this happening to the same and/or similar chrysler vehicles.
