I own a 2005 Chrysler 300c, the gas pedal lever, which is made of a composite plastic, broke off while vehicle was moving at highway speed. Had there not been a shoulder to pull off on, this event may have caused a fatal accident. Vehicle was inoperable and is presently at dealers under warranty repair. This vehicle is a safety hazard to everyone on the road!!.

The contact previously owned a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that her foot was on the brake pedal when the vehicle suddenly accelerated up to approximately 60 mph until she crashed into a fence. She observed that the accelerator pedal was extended to the floor by no effort of her own. A police report was taken. The contact had not experienced any problems with the vehicle such as sudden accelerator before that day. The dealer inspected the vehicle and told the contact that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. She returned the vehicle to the dealership shortly after the failure. She called the manufacturer but was offered no assistance. The current and failure mileages were approximately 2,800. Updated 04/20/2010. Updated 05/03/10 updated 09/21/10.
