problem #4

My accelerator stuck in my 98 Dodge Caravan. The throttle cable was frayed badly. The tow truck driver mentioned he towed about 50 Dodge Caravan in the last year with the same problem. The dealer where we got the part had "heard complaints about the accelerator." Since this vehicle is the best selling mini van and moms, dads and usually a load of kids are in the back, this problem needs to be investigated and determine whether a recall is warrented.
