Accelerator Stuck Problems of Dodge Caliber

My car started sputtering and would not reach speeds over 10mph. I put flashers on and drove to nearby mechanic. I looked up recalls and safety sites, for this was very unsafe. I found to sites for accelerator pedal sticking safety issues dealing with the throttle boy. I am paying for repairs but also looking into why Dodge put me in this unsafe situation. I have a heart condition and was very afraid driving it while it was sputtering and shaking and not driving safe at all.

While accelerating on the highway on-ramp, the accelerator pedal stuck and the vehicle continued accelerating in spite of the brakes being applied. I was only able to stop the vehicle after turning off the ignition while the vehicle was still in motion. There was a recall performed on this vehicle in 2010 to prevent a sticky accelerator pedal, but apparently the same issue the recall was intended to prevent still exists today.

Gas pedal stuck on two occasion in same trip. The "Smart pedal" feature failed to work as both gas and brake were applied to no result. Had to pull gas pedal up from bottom to correct. Have an appointment for service scheduled.

I have 2007 Caliber. I received recall letter about accelerator. I immediately took it in to local dealer the paperwork stated they reprogrammed something with the temp. It is now a month later. Car started running hot a couple weeks ago. A few days ago I go to start my car up and the rpms ran up to 4 and stayed there without going down. It seemed like the gas pedal was stuck down. It stayed like this until I had to shut car off. Called dealer and they advised me to not try to drive and have car towed to them. Spoke with head of service and he stated that this in no way is related to the recall but this is exactly what the recall was for. They have had the car for a day now and still no verdict. I have approx. 62,000 miles.

I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber. While my husband was driving to work he had a problem with the gas pedal sticking and accelerating on its own. We brought it to our local Chrysler dealership and paid $282. 00 to have them install a new gas pedal assembly. After hearing about this recall I wanted to make sure to file a report/complaint. I still have the receipt from when the gas pedal assembly was replaced. I'm hoping to find out some information on how to be reimbursed. Please contact me via phone.
