2011 Chrysler Town & Country Speed Control & Cruise Problems

The ABS light, Traction light, and Brake light all come on and simultaneously. I've been told that the ABS Module is bad and needs to be replaced. The fact that the module needs to be replaced concerns me since there are prior recalls for ABS Module with other Dodge, Ram, and Chrsyler makes and models.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED FROM 30 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE RPMS REVVED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TUBBS BROTHERS FORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 959 SANILAC RD, SANDUSKY, MI 48471, (810) 648-0000) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

I HAVE A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VAN WITH ADJUSTABLE PEDALS. PER THE MANUAL 'THE PEDALS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE OR WHEN THE ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM (ESCS) IS ON'' IMPLYING SOME TYPE OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS. FROM TIME TO TIME THE ESCS WILL NOT COME ON OR WILL STOP RESPONDING TO INPUTS, INCLUDING NOT DISENGAGING THE ESCS WHEN THE CANCEL BUTTON IS PUSHED (THOUGH IT WILL DISENGAGE BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL). HOWEVER, IF I TOGGLE THE ADJUSTABLE PEDAL SWITCH (IN ANY DIRECTION) THE ESCS IMMEDIATELY BECOMES RESPONSIVE AGAIN. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME TYPE OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE ADJUSTABLE PEDAL SWITCH AND THE ESCS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER WITH NO ASSISTANCE. DUE TO THE ESCS INTERMITTENTLY NOT DISENGAGING VIA THE CANCEL BUTTON THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
