Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving the 2005 dodge magnum today and i pushed the accelerator to the floor to avoid a collision. the accelerator would not stop accelerating until it hit about 6000 rpms. i braked, and it had no affect on the increasing speed. i had to shift to neutral and then back to drive to get control of the accelerator was an unnerving experience. the local dealer 's shop said this was due to carbon build up in the bitterly. this car has 45,000 miles on it. if that is the result of carbon build up prepare for more complaints such as this one . this could have been a life threatening situation. when you stand on the brakes and the car goes faster something is plain wrong. *ak
