Description of the problem | While driving, i conducted a normal pass on a two lane road. When i pressed the acceleration pedal, the car took off at a dramatic pace. The car continued to accelerate well over 100 mph. Dragging the brake kept the car from continuing to accelerate to its full capacity. Shifting in neutral had no effect as the engine maintained its full rpm. While in neutral, the car's computer would not allow the engine to be shut off displaying a message that the car had to be in park before that was allowed to happen. Placed the car in neutral, applied full braking, and brought the car to a standstill as the engine continued to run at full rpm. Shifted to park and turned the car off. I let it sit for 10 minutes and started it again. Car performed normal. Dodge has a known issue/recall for the same situation when using cruise control and i believe the issue is present while not using cruise control as well. Less than a month ago, the car was serviced at the local dodge dealer under the recall to correct the cruise control issue. *dsy |
