“On four separate occasions my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan se gas peddle got stuck. Three times while driving it got stuck. It didn't accelerate but slowly reduced my speed. I had to step on it repeatedly it get it unstuck. The fourth time I was in park and trying to reverse and it was stuck, very hard that I couldn't press it down. I called chrysler and they refuse to do anything. They said I had to pay to get it fixed myself.”

The van starts slowing down I have to pull to the side of the road to stop the vehicle, and to try and get the accelerator unstuck . This has happened multiple times. Sometimes the vehicle's engine shuts down on its own when this happens. Sometimes I have to stop the engine to get the accelerator to unstick. I have noticed that the majority of the time that this happens is when I'm driving in between 55 to 60 MPH. …”
