Mrrogers:
 
Ours is going in this Wed for the same problem....resistance for the first 1/4" of travel. A minor annoyance when trying give it gas on the freeway.
 
Dealer replaced a gas pedal assembly on one 2 weeks ago with a similar problem.
 
Might want to look at the actual pedal assembly and lubricate it.
 
thanks

Update to my posting:
 
They ordered a new gas pedal assembly..but forgot to order a "clip" necessary. It was a wasted trip to the dealer and a real PIA. Next trip is this week.
 
Will keep you all informed.

Vic,
    I appreciate the update. I was under the hood checking the throttle, and everything looks okay. The throttle return spring is very strong.
    I checked my gas pedal under the dash, and it seems okay. As you know, the floor mat has the locating device near the seat, so the floor mat does not interfere with the gas pedal.
    I mentioned something to my wife about lubricating the throttle, and she said not to as soon I will be turning the heater on and get the oil smell in the car. Not that I'm henpecked or anything.

On Sunday, I sprayed some WD-40 on the plastic axle pieces that the gas pedal rotates around. Also placed some white grease where the cable goes into the firewall (at least, as high as I could reach).
 
Will try it now and see if it helped.
 
thanks
Vic

The same thing happened to my 2005 Pacifica with 40K miles. I took my problem to the dealer. They performed trottle body service and the problem was fixed. The service was $100.

I am having the same problem with my 2006 Pacifica! PLEASE call the NHTSA at 1-888-3276 about this problem. That is the only way Chrysler will investigate! I was told by the mechanic "it is a design problem with the engine of the Pacifica....we can fix it for $89.95"!!! Needless to say I was shocked that they would not cover it under warranty. My dealer also charged me because my air bag light comes on while I am driving and they said they "couldn't find a code that says it is going off". I took a picture of it with my cell phone and they said that wasn't enough proof!!!!! I will NEVER buy another Chrylser again!

Chrysler did replace the throttle assembly cable under warranty. There was some improvement but for now, we will just live with it.

I had the same problem. Sprayed some carb cleaner around the throttle body and wiped it down with a paper towel. There were tons of buildup, carbon I guess. After cleaning, the pedal didn't stick anymore.
