Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

While driving I had slowed slightly down a hill and started to accelerate up hill, when I crested hill the gas pedal got stuck. I had 2 children in car. Got really scared. I quickly swiped my foot under pedal to knock anything blocking out of way, nothing there. I hit brakes, car kept going as it wasn't strong enough to hold it back. Threw car in neutral and the engine was screaming. As I rolled to side the pedal, with manipulation, became unstuck. This was a very scary incident, which could have ended badly. I researched on the net and saw many other complaints of this nature. Please do something. Consumers are being robbed of the 2nd biggest asset they spend their hard earned money on.

I've been driving along about 60 and needed to accelerate quickly and floored it to pass, the accelerator has stuck and I've had to use my brakes to get it unstuck. This has happened twice this month.

Upon merging on to the highway at approx. 50 mph, the van rapidly accellerated on it's own. The gas pedal was not stuck on a floor mat, it hit the floorboard on it's own. Applying the brakes did not work, pumping the brakes as well as the gas pedal did not work. Van was steered to shoulder, the emergency brake was applied, and the vehicle put in park. The engine revved rapidly until vehicle was turned off. Accelleration problem occurred at 38,800 miles.
