1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2004

Vehicle accelerated while consumer's foot was on the brake. There was no indication of a problem with the brakes when taken to a repair shop. The only problem found was vehicle idling high.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

At highway speeds there are sudden and unexplained decreases of about 500 rpm and a minor reduction in speed. Dealer is unable to resolve and warranty is about to expire. Friend reports same problem with a Chrysler sirrus and Chrysler says cars were desgined that way. I consider this a safety hazard that deserves resolution.
