problem #2

Sep 162009

Ram 3500

  • 57,400 miles
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.

: the contact stated while in reverse with the driver side door open and wearing the seat belt the out-of park alarm sounded. The out-of park alarm was installed on the vehicle under NHTSA recall # 05V462000. When contacting the manufacturer it was determined the out-of park alarm should not sound when the seat belt is being worn.
