| Description of the problem | After a couple repairs on same problem, i was driving to go shopping when etc bolt light and engine light came on again. I was letting off gas to slow down so i could try shutting truck off to reset computer so i could get it to dealer. When i let off gas the truck was accelerating on its own so i held brake down and let up on brake to inch forward to get all the way off road when it accelerated on its own like it was floored. I stopped and put it in park. In park the engine was racing at 3000 rpm. This is a dangerous faulty system. I had taken it to dealer and they reset it saying when they called factory they were told to reset it. If it happens again may be wire harness. I have taken time to file these complaints as i feel this is a deadly issue. These trucks have children riding in them and in other cars that may collide with them. Please research the wireless drive on the dodge ram 2011. |
