Sticky Pedal Problem Reported in Dodge Caliber

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating consumer complaints alleging their accelerator pedals stuck while they were driving their 2007 Dodge Calibers. According to Chrysler Corporation, about 10,000 vehicles may be affected by a mechanical problem “stemming from the manufacturing process at the supplier level.” The supplier is CTS Corporation, the same supplier of pedals involved in the 2.3 million Toyota vehicles recalled earlier this year. Unlike the recalled Toyota vehicles, the Dodge Caliber has a brake override system that allows a driver to stop if the accelerator pedal becomes stuck. (5/4) Detroit News
