1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2015

To whom it may concern, on Thursday, may 13, 2015, at approx. 2:00 p. M. , I was breaking to make a right turn onto another road when I noticed my car kept accelerating when my foot wasn't on the gas pedal. (there are no floor mats in the car). My boyfriend was sitting in the passenger seat. I had never experienced this in my life! I kept my foot on the brake and each time I let off the brake, the speed accelerated w/o my doing it. My boyfriend put the car in (n) & told me to pull over in the grass off the shoulder. He then turned off the ignition. (it was a mix of grass & mud). I needed assistance to get unstuck. Thankfully, I was able to get the car to stop before going into an intersection that was just ahead. With the car off, my boyfriend pumped the gas pedal aprox 3 times then started my car. The problem had stopped. I was very shaken up since realizing I we &/or others could've been killed because of this defect. I purchased this car on 4/2/15 from an individual. Please help me and others, by contacting the Chrysler corporation about this preventable matter of life & death. Thank you for your immediate attention!.

Oil light comes on a lot, especially when stopped, car smells badly of oil burning and smokes a lot, scary when driving, also air and heat only work on high very annoying I would never buy a Chrysler again.
