I was in the center lane of traffic when i noticed a car coming up from behind me. to avoid getting hit i attempted to throttle down on the gas pedal to pass a car in the slow lane and get in front of him to avoid the speeder coming up behind me. in doing so i heard a snapping sound. i was able to get in the right lane(slow lane) and pull into a restaurant parking lot. i got out of my car and to my amazement saw my entire gas pedal assembly lying on the floor of my car. i was also amazed to see that the entire mounting bracket for the gas pedal is made of either a plastic or resin compound and from what i can tell so is the brake assembly. this does not seem like a strong enough material to be used on such crucial parts. the car was towed to my dealer and the pedal assembly is going to be replaced with the same part. i will be asking for the old part back. *tr

I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership. i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days. they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate". the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission. of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks. i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car. additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions. i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution. *jb
