2007 Dodge Caliber

I HAD THE GAS PEDAL FIXED WITH THE 2010 RECALL OF MY PARTICULAR CAR. I HAVE 37,000 MILES CURRENTLY ON MY CAR. WHEN I GO TO TURN OUT OF A GAS STATION FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND FEELS AS IF IT GOING TO STALL. IT DOES THE SAME THING WHILE GOING UP A HILL. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IT GOES OFF AFTER THE CAR REGAINS NORMAL SPEED. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THE GAS PEDAL RECALL SINCE THEY ARE RELATED. I'VE GOTTEN ONTO THE DODGE CALIBER FORUMS AND SAW 100'S OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LOW MILES AND THERE ETC LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BE RESOLVED ALONG WITH THE GAS PEDAL RECALL. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS CONFIRMED PROBLEM WITH UNCERTAINTY OF HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALL OTHER DIAGNOSTICS CAME BACK WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OVER THE WHITESTONE BRIDGE IN NY, AT THE CREST OF THE BRIDGE THE VEHICLES ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE REDUCING THE SPEED OF VEHICLE FROM 50 MPH TO 5 MPH IN THE COURSE OF LESS THEN A MINUTE. I WAS NEARLY KILLED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK WHO WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND MY CAR. THE CART ROLLED DOWN THE BRIDGE WITH LIMITED POWER. FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS I AM READING ON VARIOUS CALIBER WEBSITES THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT SHOULD BE REVIEWED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
