Consumer Description

THE CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ACCELERATE WITH OUT ME USING THE GAS PEDAL. I LEARNED THERE WAS A THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM ISSUE. THE FLAP INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD NOT CLOSE CAUSING THE CAR TO WANT TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY EVEN IN STOPPED TRAFFIC. NEARLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE DESIGN AND HAS BEEN REDONE. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND DANGEROUS IF CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WHY NOT RECALL IT?
