Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE 215 FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER-ICOASTED DANGEROULY TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, A WARNING LIGHT "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" CAME ON. AFTER AWHILE IT WENT OFF. AS SOON AS I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN.THE SECOND TIME I ALMOST GOT HIT BY SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER AWHILE THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND I RESUMED DRIVING.I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN TEMECULA CA AND AFTER INSPECTION THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE OR VICE-VERSA. AND SO THEY CHARGED ME $183 TO TELL ME THAT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. THE DEALER SAYS ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE NEWER 300 MODELS. NO WARNING ANYWHERE IN MANUAL OR CAR. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATING ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED AND CHRYSLER MOTORS IS IGNORING IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. A RECALL MUST BE MADE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLLED!
