Associated Press | Chrysler is recalling nearly 35,000 Dodge
Calibers in the United States and around the globe to fix a potential
problem with sticky gas pedals, the same issue that has affected
millions of Toyotas.

Chrysler says it will recall about 25,000 Calibers in the U.S. from the
2007 model year and a limited number of 2007 Jeep Compass SUVs to
inspect those built between March and May of 2006.

The remaining vehicles are in Mexico, Canada and elsewhere.

Chrysler says the pedals were made by the same company that made pedals involved in a recall of more than 2 million Toyotas this year.

Chrysler says the SUVs have “smart brake” technology allowing the brake to override the gas pedal.
