About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
First incident, several weeks ago: Within two minutes after starting car, attempted to enter highway with a left turn. With light pressure on throttle, engine ran to high RPM. Was able to steer into center turn lane while shifting to neutral. Engine returned to normal mode of operation, and I proceeded directly to my dealership. Dealership kept car for several days, finding nothing ( service said they checked the computer and called Chrysler), they said car was safe to drive. Second incident: Last Saturday (Nov. 10, 2007) my wife used car to go shopping. Approximately four minutes after start, engine again oversped: She pulled over and put the car in park and shut it down. When I arrived, attempted a restart; engine went to a high RPM so I shut it down and left it parked while I went to the dealer. Service was already gone for the day so I talked to the manager, who set up a tow through Chrysler Corp. Dealerships service couldn't get to it until wed. Evening (Nov.14). Mechanic found the same problem but can't find why. They called Chrysler, but no help.
