ok second time this happened, vehicle accelerated on its own and idle was high, this time the brake did not even stop it completely-the first time this occurred was a month ago and the brake did stop it-took it to the dodge dealer (unplugged the idle - something which should make vehicle die but it ran better so it would not just hop on the trailer so quickly)-of course it supposedly was not doing it when I got it there-it threw no codes as they performed diagnostics-their paperwork said reconnect ais & tps sensor, road test, working properly at this time....$79 bucks for a big fat nothing I guess

my vehicle began accelerating on its own when I was driving.....it got up to 40 + miles an hour on its own.....as I slowed the vehicle down with the brake the engine was so loud I thought something was going to blow up (very fast idle)....like a plane taking off....nothing simple like the cruise got hit on or my floor mat was stuck under the gas pedal....I may be blonde but I am not an idiot! Changed the idle motor just because I was bound and determined to do all I could at the moment to correct the problem...garage was not sure that was the issue and it happened again so I guess I wasted that money and am still scared to drive it....another complaint to follow...
