1 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2011 Dodge Caravan

Failure Date: 03/17/2015

2011 Dodge grand Caravan crew-the gas pedal gets stuck in acceleration, the dealer states it is the gas pedal assembly. There is not a current recall, but the dealer says it is not safe to drive the vehicle and it must be replaced, or I can risk killing my family. Filed a complaint with Dodge, they said the "do not have enough complaints to issue a recall". I guess they are waiting till someone dies. Their warranty to replace these types of items ends at 36,000 and my extended warranty will not cover it. What a waste of money these warranties are. I doubt I will ever buy another Dodge!.

While driving my 2005 Dodge Caravan the gas pedal became "stuck". This has happened in the past ( I have owned the vehicle for about 3 yrs. ) this time though it took longer to "unstick" it. Usually if I press harder on the pedal it will start working normally again. This time it didn't budge and took several attempts to get it functioning again.
