Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I filled up my gas tank with fuel and as I was merging onto the highway, the car stalled. It continued to stall for about 50 miles. Now every time I fill up my tank it will stall on me until I drive about 30-50 miles and the tank is no longer full. It is very dangerous and I cant let my wife or family drive it for fear of stalling and having an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10511864, filed 2013-05, 78,000 miles“Purchased vehicle used from dealership. Shortly after purchase, I pulled out into traffic and accelerated heavy. The accelerator pedal popped down to the floor resulting in rapid acceleration and speed gain. I stomped the accelerator pedal and it popped back up allowing me to regain control of vehicle. Once on open road I pushed accelerator pedal to floor and it stuck again. Once again it popped up when I tapped it with my foot. After that I made sure I did not go to the floor again until the other day. …”

This could be 3-5 feet depending how sudden the acceleration occurred. This has happened several times, with the last occurring where I hit the front end of our other SUV. This scares us because what if a person is in front of us, etc... We have reported this to our Dodge service and they told us that they have no reports of this. …”
