| Description of the problem | I was passing a truck on the highway and when i pushed the throttle to the floor to kick in passing gear,the throttle stuck to the floor and would not release. I kept hitting the pedal but it would not release. I was lucky enough to have a semi clear road ahead of me or it would have been disastrous. I had it towed to a dealership and they could not locate the problem. I took it to a second dealership and was in contact with chrysler corp. And opened up a case, case # 18964704 and have been in contact with brandon but nothing has been resolved. This problem happened on sept. 16, 2009. I did an internet search and found listings of the same problem. I feel this is a serious problem and should be reported. I am looking at trading in the truck at this time because it is such a safety issue. I have only driven the truck 2 times since the incident. Once to the dealership and one time to work. Please help. Chrysler is not returning my phone calls anymore. |
