Chrysler Pt Cruiser 2008 Vehicle Speed ControlChrysler Pt Cruiser 2008 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10334965 CHRYSLER PT CRUISER 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 05, 2010.CHRYSLER PT CRUISER 2008, manufactured by CHRYSLER GROUP LLC had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . following an oil change and air filter replacement at a valvoline express shop, the technician used an air hose to blow out debris (seeds, nuts, etc.) from the air filter box. approximately one mile after leaving the shop, the gas pedal on the car went loose, and the engine kept revving, steadily increasing the speed of the car. i was able to slow the car by braking hard and eventually switching to neutral, and pulled the car safely to the side of the road. the engine continued to rev as though i had the gas pedal to the floor. when i contacted the valvoline shop, they sent out a manager and technician to check the car. they quickly found that one of the "nuts" from the air filter box had become stuck in the throttle assembly, causing me to lose control of the cars acceleration. after removing the obstruction, there have been no further problems. although i was able to control the car and bring it safely to a stop, this could have resulted in a serious accident under other conditions (heavy traffic, higher speeds, etc.). it seems that there should be a safety mechanism that recognizes when the brake is being applied while the throttle is wide open, and allows the driver to regain control. also, i strongly believe that removing debris from the air filter box should be done with a vacuum rather than a high pressure air hose which essentially blows the debris throughout the engine compartment, potentially causing problems like this one. the affected vehicle was a 2008 chrysler pt cruiser touring with 50,000 miles , and was traveling at approximately 40 mph when the accelerator failed. *tr.Mileage was 50000 miles.

(delta sonic , touch car wash route 277 orchard park, ny) my name is rc mechanical engineering b.s. previous automotive fuel system safety product validation engineer, and now a hvac controls engineer. the likely failure mode of having a car wash is probably high speed impact at a stop light during night time driving. people could die. i recommend a service repair where narrow bent tube is aluminum taped to the existing vent. *tr.Mileage was 45000 miles.
