2006 Chrysler Pacifica gas pedal sticks, when accelerating from a stop position. It happens a least 3 times a day. The vehicle was taken to the Chrysler service department, and they could not find a problem. Chrysler needs to be proactive before this gas pedal sticking causes a major ordeal for Chrysler and consumers. Also, the lifter noise complaints is also a common problem and NHTSA needs to research this defect more closely. I just had this repaired.

Throttle sticks or will not move for first 1/4" of travel. When the pedal finally becomes unstuck, this causes rapid acceleration in stop and go traffic.

While driving my Chrysler pacific 2006 I notice that the gas pedal sticks when pushing down on the gas pedal making the car take off fast. I took the car to the dealer darcars and Jeep Chrysler of new carrollton md and they told me that the equip line to the gas tank was broke I inform them that I did not know how that could have happen when know one has ever work on my car. The manager was not caring at all I told him that I felt that this was a safety issue and he was not concern with the safety of my well being. I have also called the Chrysler headquarter and inform them about my issue with the gas pedal. This could lead to me pushing on the gas pedal to hard and possibly running into the back of someone and our something else happening. Mr. Mike bayat who is the director of that dealership did not even go out to take a look at the problem he just to his tech work and I felt that the tech was the one who could have broken the line. I felt that I was taken advantage of because I am a women, I know that they make there money on how many repairs they do. My warranty cover this part and I felt that the person that was working on my car was trying to get over on me. Another tech was there and he felt that the tech who had work on my car should have replace it under the warranty. This part is cover under the I have warranty and the manager could care less about my safety. I left there with the gas pedal still sticking and no concerns from the dealership.

My wife has a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica and as of yesterday 2/22/2010 the accelerator pedal has stuck in the up position 3 times while she has been driving and 1 time while I was driving the vehicle on 2/21/10. The pedal sticks up so that it can not be pushed down. We have had to turn the vehicle off and restart before we can easily push the pedal down. I am concerned that a time may come where we are pulling out in traffic and the pedal sticks potentially causing our vehicle to not accelerate and causing an accident.
