general problems of the 2011 Dodge Journey

My wife was driving the car, when suddenly the gas pedal broke off at the base. The car lost all acceleration. Luckily, no one was behind her and she was able to glide of the rode.

I was driving on the highway at 60mph, I went to pass a car and pressed the accelerator pedal and the plastic pedal broke off just after the pivot point. I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic that were traveling at highway speeds (65-75), all while my speed was rapidly decreasing, to get to the shoulder of the road.
