Description of the problem | After coming to a stop at a stop sign, with my foot on the brake, the engine startined revving very high and i had to maintain my foot on the brake. To not plow into traffic. I switched truck into neutral and park a few times which caused lurching a little as the truck was still revving high and i had to keep brake pressure. I eventually turned off motor. When i turned it back on it did same thing. Turned off again and it went away. During this time the engine indicator with the 'exclamation point' was lit. I was then able to drive. This happened again a couple months later with same situation. I took it to the dodge dealer where i bought it. They had it for 2 weeks trying to replicate the problem which did not happen. They eventually decided it was my accelerator pedal position sensor and replaced that (of course not covered under warranty). This seems to have fixed it but was about $600 and 2 weeks without my truck. If this had happened while moving it may have caused a significant crash. |
