Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while reversing at 5 mph, the accelerator pedal became stuck in a partially depressed position. The contact hit the pedal with force to release it from that position. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a pole. There were no injuries. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer for an inspection and the dealer offered no assistance. The vehicle was repaired for the body damages, but the failure recurred. The failure mileage was 160,000.

I have previously reported a problem with the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica stalling when turning. The problem has progressively worsened. This month alone, (December 2011) the car has stalled 5 times. I am afraid to drive the car for fear that I will crash when it stalls. There are so many Chrysler Pacifica owners that are reporting the same problem. Along with the stalling issue, the gas pedal sticks and needs to be pushed rather hard. A third problem I have encountered this year is the headlamps "burning out". I have replaced the front left headlamp three this year. I am familiar with the handling instructions for headlamps. I am greatly distressed by these problems, especially the stalling. I have children that I drive around in this car. Please do something about Chrysler's failure to fix this problem.

My gas pedal sticks while driving the car or after I stop the car at a light or sign. When at a complete stop, I have to push hard on the pedal,which makes the car lurch forward. When I am driving on the expressway, it gets stuck and I am not able to accelerate, which can cause an accident. I see that I am not the only one with this problem. I took the car to the dealership, the tech knew what I was talking about, said that it was a throttle body assembly that gets old and needs to be replaced for 200 bucks. If this is happening on the majority of the Pacificas, why do the consumers need to pay to have it replaced. This is a strict liability negligence, not my fault.

I own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. I purchased the vehicle new in 2006. The accelerator on the vehicle sticks forcing me to apply a great deal of pressure to make it go. I have been told that this is the result of the accumulation of gunk in the throttle and that this is a common problem with the Pacifica. I believe this poses a safety issue for me and my family along with other motorists. This is clearly a manufacturers defect since it is so common place in the Pacificas. I would like to ask your agency's help in making Chrysler accountable to fix this defect before someone gets killed.
