“I was on my way to work and getting onto a freeway entrance, when right when I was merging, my car completely lost throttle control and bogged down. It was very foggy outside and a semi truck almost ran into the back of my car. I was able to get off the freeway and home with my car in what is known as limp mode. There was no check engine light, only a red lightning bolt light, and my esp (traction control) was on also. Upon doing some research I have found that the electronic throttle body goes out in these cars quite a bit. …”

“My car is well maintained. I have it serviced every 3000 miles and have the records to prove it. I had the rusted frame replaced this passed august after my mechanic noticed the corroded frame. I have had almost all of the other problems listed and replaced on my car. I started hearing an odd noise while driving on the highway, and took the car in to my mechanic who replaced a pulley. The car continued to make the noise all the time while driving and I brought it back in for servicing. My mechanic could find nothing wrong. He told me to just drive it til something happened. …”

“This is the third time in less than a year I am having trouble with this. I look this up online and a lot. Hundreds of people are having this problem. My etc (electronic throttle control light) comes on. My car loses power and sometime stop running in the middle of the highway. I have the PCM replace in the car that cost about $600 and I am having the same problem again. Losing power in a vehicle is very dangerous. I started having the same problem in my 2011 Dodge caravan the dealer saying the cylinders are misfiring. Something needs to done about this.”

“Dash warning lights all come on, interior light comes on when using right turn signal, loses power only up to 40mph , sometimes won't start, odometer gauge flapping around, which are current problems,have replaced suspension three times, and replaced computer! Will never purchase a Dodge again!”
