Default major problem

I have a 01 Neon with 71,000 miles. Over the weekend the gas pedal went to the floor, the dash lit up and it hasnt started back up. It been to 2 dealerships now and they cant figure out whats wrong with it. Any ideas?

??? thats a tough one. I would first try replacing the entire ETC since you said the pedal went all the way to the floor. The dash lighting up and the car not starting could be a side of affect of a failure of it.

OMG the PCM was not the problem. I got a call after my car has been at the shop for over a week now that the PCM was installed yet the car wont start. Now they say they have to check all the cicuits. Has anyone else ever had a problem like this. Cause according to the mechanic he's never seen this before and is playing everything by ear. Thanks

THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR BUYING A CHEAP PIECE OF AMERICAN ****.

GET A CAR THAT WILL LAST PAST 71,000 MILES. DOMESTICS BLOW ***.

IF DEALERSHIPS CANT FIGURE IT OUT YOU BETTER JUST PUSH IT OFF A CLIFF, WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE WITH YOU IN IT WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE PIECE OF ****.
