Description of the problem	On august 26th i was traveling in my truck at about 58mph with the cruise control on. As i entered a 45mph speed zone i tapped the brake pedal to disengage the cruise. The truck maintained speed so i pressed the brake pedal many times with the truck not slowing down. I then had to hit the brakes quite hard to slow down. While doing this i noticed a message come up on the info screen which read service electronic throttle control. After stopping i checked to see if something like a floormat was pressing on the accelerator pedal, which there was not. This same situation happened again on august 30th. I contacted south lake motors, the local ram dealer to schedule an appointment for sept. 4. I took my truck in and they found a code in the computer, but could not find anything wrong. In the following 2 weeks the same thing happened two more times as i tried to slow down from a speed of between 55 and 60mph, except i did not have the cruise on. They looked it over again on sept 19 and decided to put a new accelerator pedal in it on sept. 20th. The next day it stuck again as i tried to slow for a truck turning in front of me, almost causing me to rear end that vehicle. Sept 27th i took it back in and they still could not find anything wrong. On oct 7 i once again dropped my truck off at the dealer and they kept it for 5 days trying to duplicate the issue. They could not find the problem. On oct 13 while traveling at 45mph i let off the accelerator pedal and the truck maintained speed, i had to slam on the brakes to slow it down to negotiate a corner without wrecking. This has happened two time since then. On oct 21st i took it back to the dealer and they installed a data recorder to record the events. The mechanic and other dealership employees have told me this truck is not safe to drive. I have called chrysler daily telling them this vehicle is unsafe.
