Description of the problem | Driving along at highway speeds, the "throttle control sensor" light comes on for a quick second, then goes off, and "enginge light" goes on. Withing seconds, the truck loses power, giving you little to no time to prepare and react. It has happened in l. A. On frwy with loads of traffic, it's so dangerous trying to get over to the side without being killed! It has happened 2 tiimes while in tow mode pulling trailers, again so dangerous when suddenly you have no power. Once while pulling horses in the trailer, on an up-hill, with cars behind me and no where to pull over (no shoulder). So unsafe, i was badly shaken over that one with my horses in tow. So this has happened 4 times to us, dodge has had in shop 4 times and cannot fix. It is terrifing to be going along and have your power cut in a moments time, and be in "limp mode". We can no longer trust this truck. So dangerous |
