It went to Manassas Chrysler this afternoon. Let me know if your sensor fixed the problem.
Interesting... what you said is exactly the reason for putting Chrysler on final notice under the Lemon Law!

This morning I dropped off my car at the dealer to have a real bonafide DC tech to work on my car in an attempt to remedy this very problem. They first replaced 3 parts that went from the gas pedal into the engine thinking this might fix the problem - did not work. They then found the sensor to be bad, so they replaced it - did not work. Then they realized my computer was bad so they replaced that - and well you can guess, none of that has fixed the problem.

Not sure what the answer may be, so I'm anxiously awaiting a call from the dealer letting me know the DC tech found the problem and fixed it. And I want that call to be with some good news...

When I find out what they did, this will be one of the first places I will post the info. I just find it amazing that so many are experiencing the same problem and they don't know how to fix it...
