VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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

POWER TRAIN
THE NEW RAM TRUCKS USE A DIAL LIKE SHIFTER THAT CHRYSLER IS CALLING THE "ROTARY SHIFTER" IN WHICH THE DRIVER USES TO SELECT THE TRANSMISSION POSITION FROM PARK OR DRIVE. THE SYSTEM IS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES IN CONFUSING DRIVERS THINKING THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, VAN SPEED CONTROL, OR EVEN THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK WHEN ACTUALLY IN DRIVE. WITH OUR INCIDENT THE DRIVER THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK HOWEVER IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE DRIVER STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD CAUSING A COLLISION TO ANOTHER VEHICLE WITHIN OUR GARAGE LODGING THE DRIVERS HEAD IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE DOOR AND LEG IN THE LOWER CAUSING INJURY NOT TO MENTION DAMAGE TO EACH VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE DAMAGE COMBINED TO FOR BOTH VEHICLES IS WELL OVER $2,000 FOR A MINOR COLLISION AND ALSO TWO SEPARATE COLLISION CLAIMS ON OUR AUTO POLICY. CHRYSLER IS CALLING IT A DIVER ERROR AFTER REPORTING IT TO THEM UNDER CLAIM #24280455. WE FEEL AND AFTER TALKING WITH OTHERS IN THE PUBLIC IN JUST THIS SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHERS IN OUR AREA ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE HOWEVER NO ONE WAS INJURED OR IN A COLLISION FROM OTHERS THAT WE HAVE TALKED WITH THUS FAR. *TR
