Car Accelerates On Its Own Problems of Dodge Caliber

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 to 50 mph, all of the lights on the instrumental panel illuminated and the engine began to lose power before there was an increase in the engine rpms to 8,000. The vehicle then began to suddenly accelerate and when the brakes were engaged, the Smart braking system activated. As a result, the vehicle fishtailed. The contact lost control of the vehicle, but was able to maneuver to the side of the road. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance because the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 10v234000 (vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal) and the warranty expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 88,000.
