THE REPORT WHICH CAME BACK TO ME ON THIS PROBLEM WAS NUMBERED, CAMPAIGN ID #90V177000. THE FAILED PART IS "THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR". WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE CHRYSLER CORP. HAD TO PROVIDE THIS RECALL, BUT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL HISTORY ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, THERES BEEN A FEW. WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS IF I CAN GET THESE PROBLEMS OR PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ACCIDENT, BY THAT I MEAN THAT THE ENGINE KEEPS RACING AFTER I START IT, I HAD THE IDLE MOTOR REPLACED AT 179.00 DOLLARS AND ITS STILL RACING OR IDLING FAST. THANK YOU.
