Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2001 Chrysler Sebring

We we on interstate 55 in memphis TN, headed south, traveling at 55 when the car accelerator began to stick and the car increased in speed, so I stayed on the brakes until I could smell the brakes, so at the southhaven exit we turned the engine off, and coast until we could stop, and turn the motor back on and the car was still idle, and suddenly went back to normal. We drove all the way to water valley, ms we the car did the same thing and we followed the same procedure until we made it home at 456 county road 176, water valley, ms. My husband had just left the hospital in memphis where he had back surgery.

When driving at low speeds, vehicle accelerator will stick. This almost caused an accident. There is a recall for this problem , but in the early year vehicle 1996/1997. Recall number 02 v 186 000. The dealership refused to address the problem. Ph.
