“On this date and at least a few others our aspen unintentionally accelerated. It usually accelerates from a dead stop after the SUV is shifted into drive with foot on the brake pedal. It will also occasionally accelerate when slowing down before coming to a stop. Chrysler dealerships have no solutions since service managers have had no previous experiences with this problem. So they say.”
