2005 Dodge RAM 2500 Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	867578
Internal NHTSA #	10410817
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 2500
Model Year	2005
File date	21/06/11
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Uncontrolled throttle (unintended increase in engine speed). While driving in cruise control, the truck stated going faster. Hitting the brake did not disengage but turning the cruise off did. A day letter, while driving in first gear, the engine went to 3500 rpm and would not return to idle. This happened twice and the only way to stop it was to push in the clutch and turn the key off. The truck was parked and went to the dealer where the pedal assembly (drive by wire) and the engine control module were replace plus work was done on the wiring harness due to having 12 volts where it shouldn't which presented issues with installing the engine control module. 100 miles later, the check engine light came on and there are codes indicating high voltage to various sensors. This truck has had electrical issues since day one and the problem is most likely related to the wiring. The engine control module has been replaced twice. I'm getting ready to have it dropped off at the dealership and expect the cpu will be replaced again.
