Accelerator Stuck Problems of Dodge Grand Caravan

While accelerating to 65 mph on an interstate my gas pedal became stuck and began to accelerate my van to a higher speed, I attempted to resolve this issue by tapping the break hoping the system would reset or disengage but it did not. I also checked my floor mat to ensure it was not interfering but it moved easily. To stop the acceleration, I had to physically pull on the gas pedal in which it finally released from being stuck and allowed me to drive at a normal rate of speed.

This Dodge Grand Caravan 2014 was purchased on 5-2014. This van is a death trap. This needs investigation on the amount of people whom have died as a result of driving this van. This van has most likely been the cause of several accidents and deaths. Please look in to this. I am a experienced driver of over 35 years with knowledge of vehicles. This 2014 Dodge van should be taken off the streets. I can not express to you enough how horrid the problem is with this van. Simple story on March 21, 2015 while driving on to a very short ramp which leads to the highway with limited time to get in your slot or for those on it already, to make you a slot, I accelerated to needed speed to get a slot, once I was up to 70 mph I let off the gas pedal, the car continued to accelerate I was then not only in the thick of highway traffic traveling on I-70 but as well after stomping literally on the breaks twice the car rpm continued to raise I was soon going 90 mph against my will and instantly thought maybe it was the gas pedal stuck I clearly looked down and saw it was not stuck on a matt since my van had no matt in the front drivers side, and frantically started pulling the gas pedal upwards with my foot trying to unstick it which it was not stuck I then stomped on the breaks again panicking at this time as not only coming upon the car in front still going near 95 mph and accelerating but there was no open slot to escape around any cars, I tried 4-5 times more to lift the pedal with my foot it wouldn't slow, I then threw car into neutral and slowed it down and drifted it off the ramp exit 295. I then turned it off at stop sign and restarted it terrified, and went home slow not over 30 mph. I sincerely believe that there have been multiple deaths and accidents from this that was never reported.

As I'm driving down the road the accelerator sticks, and I can't undo it. The van starts slowing down I have to pull to the side of the road to stop the vehicle, and to try and get the accelerator unstuck . This has happened multiple times. Sometimes the vehicle's engine shuts down on its own when this happens. Sometimes I have to stop the engine to get the accelerator to unstick. I have noticed that the majority of the time that this happens is when I'm driving in between 55 to 60 mph. It happens so frequently that I am scared to drive in multiple lane traffic in fear that it will stick when I'm in a middle lane and start slowing down and somebody hit me from behind or be stuck in the middle with no way out because it wont start. When the accelerator sticks the vehicle starts slowing down and I start to pull to the side of the road and start to try and stop it. If I don't pull to the side of the road the vehicle will stop in the middle of the road and possibly shut down. I have read other reports of the same thing happening with the same model. I feel that this should be addressed before someone gets seriously hurt or worse killed. Thanks.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan customer states that after 60 mph the accelerator pedal starts to stick* the consumer was informed that a new air filter was needed. Also, the cause was that the throttle housing where the butterfly is was dirty and that at high speed the metal heated up and expanded and the carbon around the butterfly would cause it to stick. The consumer was also told that carbon was in the engine and it needed to be cleaned along with the fuel injectors. The consumer was told to expect the problem to happen again.
