My 2007 Dodge Caliber sxt has a problem with the throttle. The pedal sticks, causing the accelerator to raise the rpms to about 5000 while driving. I noticed a copper bushing on my floor mat but had no idea that it came from the pedal assy. I will take my vehicle in tomorrow. This problem is occurring very frequent and I am afraid that this will cause some serious injury or death. Updated 05/20/10.
