Description of the problem	My 2005 dodge ram 1500 black rumble bee truck was stopped at red light as was fixing to make a left turn the truck stumbled as if stalling and then shot off wide open throttle my foot was not on the throttle, in to oncoming traffic i made the turn and avoided hitting any body and slide in to the parking lot where i rolled the truck in the empty lot. The police came up that watched the wreck and said that's what i get for hot rodding the truck i told them i had not and turned the switch back on with truck in park and it went to wide open throttle. They quickly said it was out of my control and called the wreck a mechanical failure. After a two months fight with insurance company i bought the truck back they had totaled the truck it only has 27000 miles on it. I went to hoover and talked with service and the owner finding out that this had happened in several other chrysler 300s and other ram trucks with the 5. 7 hemi just at his dealer ships (4). Once every thing got settled i started looking at the truck and found the throttle stuck wide open i released the throttle actuator the throttle snapped closed replaced it with a used one truck idles fine scared to move it but idles fine. What can be done about this if anything.
