2007 Dodge Caliber

THE GAS PEDAL MESSES UP IT CAN BE AT A SLIGHT HILL OR ACCELERATING AT A GREEN LIGHT. I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD ONLY GETTING SLIGHT MOVEMENT; THEN THE CAR JUST ACCELERATES. OTHER TIMES IT ACTS NORMAL. I TOOK IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL SO I PAID $504 THEY SAID IT FINE AND FIXED. THE SAME DAY OF GETTING MY CAR BACK IT DOES THE SAME THING SO I CALLED CHRYSLER 800#. THEY TO SAID MY 2007 WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND TO TAKE IT BACK THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE IF RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO OTHER 2007 MODELS. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ACCELERATION OF THESE GAS PEDALS. I'M 9 MTHS PREGNANT AND DO NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE THAT MY CAR WILL MOVE LIKE IT IS SUPPOSE TO WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS LEAVING WORK AND DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I STARTED HEARING A STRANGE NOISE THEN BEGAN SMELLING BURNING RUBBER.
