Car Throttle Sticking Problems of Chrysler Sebring

After accelerating from a stop at a traffic light, the car accelerator or throttle began to stick and accelerate intensely, going up to 80mph with the brake engaged. I pulled off the main road, continuing to brake as hard as I could until I was able to safely shut down the car. I had no control over the car and narrowly avoided a serious accident. Prior to this incident, my car has had every service recommended by the manufacturer manual.

The contact owns a 1996 Chrysler Sebring couple lx. The throttle control is sticking. If coming to a stop the vehicle will continue on at a full throttle. The contact contacted Chrysler about recalls, and they said there were no recalls. The main computer had to be replaced, but that replacement was not related to this problem. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop, and they told the contact that there were false signals from the idle air control solenoid to the main computer, causing the throttle control to stick. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealership yet. He wanted to contact NHTSA first. This problem began nine months ago, and occurred six times, generally at speeds less than 10 mph.
