Ram 3500 Diesel

  • 44,100 miles
I own a 2008 3500 diesel megacab dually. I was driving along I-70 in Colorado at about the speed of 75-80 mph and had to step on the gas pedal all the way down to get around a semi-truck and as soon as I did this the gas pedal got stuck. I know it wasn't stuck to the floor-mat because I visually saw that it wasn't. I had to slip my shoe off and pull the gas pedal up with my toes due to the shoe not being able to get behind the pedal. By the time I managed to pull the gas pedal back my truck had sped up to about 110-115 mph.. this is the second time that this has happened to me. Previous to this incident about a week and a half earlier this happened to me in denver as I was be driving through the city. I thought it was the floor-mat then, so I ignored the fact that this had happened but this second time around I did look down to see if it was or not the floor-mat and it was not the floor mat.... I did not have the cruise control on at either time.. im going to try to contact Chrysler and the dealer to try and see what they believe it might be.. odds are they will think I'm imagining things !!
