Description of the problem | On several occasions, while the vehicle has been in motion the vehicle has accelerated on its own and under different conditions with different drivers. The vehicle surges forward and the tachometer jumps over 6 rpm. On a separate occasion, while trying to merge onto a highway, the accelerator was pressed all the way to the floor but the vehicle did not respond almost resulting in an accident. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer 3 times with no clear idea from the technicians as to what is wrong with the vehicle. The first time it went to the dealership, it spent two weeks and their techs could not duplicate the problem. It was recommended that a "black box" recording device be installed in the vehicle. The device is cumbersome and a potential hazard to drivers who must try to push the button on the device while the vehicle is unintentionally accelerating. The vehicle duplicated the problem again when it was given back. On the third trip to the dealer, the black box info was relayed to chrysler and the vehicle is still siting there after a week and chrysler techs have issued a do not let the customer back in the vehicle order. Basically, chrysler has seized my vehicle, to which i am still paying for, and they do not know what the issue is therefore cannot fix it. A complaint has been filed with chrysler corp. |
