ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON AUGUST 26TH I WAS TRAVELING IN MY TRUCK AT ABOUT 58MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. AS I ENTERED A 45MPH SPEED ZONE I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE. THE TRUCK MAINTAINED SPEED SO I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL MANY TIMES WITH THE TRUCK NOT SLOWING DOWN. I THEN HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES QUITE HARD TO SLOW DOWN. WHILE DOING THIS I NOTICED A MESSAGE COME UP ON THE INFO SCREEN WHICH READ SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED TO SEE IF SOMETHING LIKE A FLOORMAT WAS PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHICH THERE WAS NOT. THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN ON AUGUST 30TH. I CONTACTED SOUTH LAKE MOTORS, THE LOCAL RAM DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SEPT. 4. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN AND THEY FOUND A CODE IN THE COMPUTER, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IN THE FOLLOWING 2 WEEKS THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN FROM A SPEED OF BETWEEN 55 AND 60MPH, EXCEPT I DID NOT HAVE THE CRUISE ON. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AGAIN ON SEPT 19 AND DECIDED TO PUT A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN IT ON SEPT. 20TH. THE NEXT DAY IT STUCK AGAIN AS I TRIED TO SLOW FOR A TRUCK TURNING IN FRONT OF ME, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END THAT VEHICLE. SEPT 27TH I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON OCT 7 I ONCE AGAIN DROPPED MY TRUCK OFF AT THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 5 DAYS TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON OCT 13 WHILE TRAVELING AT 45MPH I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE TRUCK MAINTAINED SPEED, I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW IT DOWN TO NEGOTIATE A CORNER WITHOUT WRECKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIME SINCE THEN. ON OCT 21ST I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED A DATA RECORDER TO RECORD THE EVENTS.THE MECHANIC AND OTHER DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEES HAVE TOLD ME THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER DAILY TELLING THEM THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. *TR
