Description of the problem	Seems to be an issue for a lot of people throughout chrysler vehicles. I was driving when the engine cut down to 30 mph and indicator lights came on, engine light, traction control and "red lightning bolt" (etc electronic throttlebody control). What is happening is your computer has detected something wrong and has gone into limp mode which is allowing the vehicle only enough power to get off the road (limp off the road). It appears dealers and mechanics don't know or aren't telling. Don't tell them i have the solution, they are in business to make money off of you, don't give them a hand up. They may want to replace your throttle body which they charge over $1,000 for and it doesn't fix the issue. The problem is calibration between your accelerator (gas peddle) position sensor, computer and etc (throttle) sensor. It will cost you $0 and 10 seconds to solve. Get in, turn the key to "accessory" position just before turning the engine on. Let all the instrument lights on the dash reset. Engine, "red lightning bolt" and (if ebrake is engaged) brake lights should be on. Now push the accelerator peddle to the floor and count to ten. The "red bolt" light should now turn off and you have just reteached or calibrated your position sensor. Turn the key back off and then turn on your vehicle and enjoy the ride.
