2008 Dodge RAM 1500 Vehicle speed control Problems

“This is the second time reporting this problem. I have been having issues with my acceleration or gas pedal when I step on the gas sometimes to accelerate. Like merging onto the freeway or interstate or trying to pass a slow-moving vehicle my gas pedal or acceleration pedal has a tendency to stick. I then have to stomp on it or try to pull up on it with my foot to free it up. As I have stated in my previous complaint I guess nothing is going to be done about it on till someone is hurt injured or killed.”

“My truck has quit functioning 3 different times (days). All dash lights come on and there is no communication between the accelerator pedal and engine. Most times it is still running but I cannot make the vehicle move. The last time the engine died completely and I could not restart the vehicle. I have had it towed 3 times to the dealership, they have made repairs based on what they thought was wrong, only to have it stop exactly the same 4 or 5 days later. The first repair was condenser, oil pressure regulator and battery cable, the second repair was the brain. …”

“On about 5 different times my accelerator pedal has gotten stuck and accelerating to about 90 plus MPH while on the highway. I had to stomp on it several times to get it unstuck. I have seen where other people have had the same problem as mine. However the Dodge dealer in baytown texas said they have not gotten any recalls on this problem and can not do anything for me until there is a recall. Also I was told about the airbag recall and they also have told me that they will not do any repairs until I receive a recall notice by mail which I still have not received. …”

I continued to gain speed and ran out of shoulder so I had to cut left back to the highway and hit the trailer of the 18 wheeler. …”

“Consumer stated 2008 Dodge ram accelerated after removing foot from pedal. The consumer stated as she accelerated to pass a truck, the vehicle continued to accelerate. The RPM's reached 5000.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, however they were unable to find a problem. The dealer stated they had never heard of an electronic control light, even though the light was on when the consumer arrived at the dealer. …”
