Accelerator Pedal problems of the 1998 Dodge Durango

As my wife, starla lee citarella ,was pulling into a parking space the brake pedal pad slipped off as she applied the brakes. Her foot then hit the gas pedal , causing vcehicle to accelerate. She was able to direct the car away from the parked cars around her and went up a small em bankement, striking a light post and a small tree. She proceded over the small hill and came to rest on the downward slope.

While on the highway, the gas pedal dropped to the floor and the car accelerated out of control. Applying the brakes did not stop the vehicle. The car had accelerated to over 85 mph when I pulled to the shoulder lane. I then stood up on the brake pedal, slowed the car down to 35 mph and turned the car off. The car eventually came to a stop. An aaa tow truck came out to help. The tow truck operator confirms that when he towed the truck that the gas pedal was still on the floor. When the car was dropped off at the dealer, the pedal was back in a more normal position. The dealer was unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle.
