Contact stated i bought my 2019 ram 1500 at the end of may about 3 months ago. In over 40 years driving my recent experience was one of the most frightening.

To get out of the truckers way i "put my pedal to the metal" as the phrase…

I have a new 2019 ram 1500. On numerous occasions (approximately 6), the truck unexpectedly lurches and begins accelerating by itself, never stopping. This acceleration takes place in both drive and reverse. The vehicle can only be controlled with heavy breaking or flipping the truck into neutral. If the truck is turned off and restarted, the acceleration stops. However, it reoccurs shortly thereafter, sometimes in…

I started my truck and before i could put it in gear, a 'throttle failure' warning message appeared on my dash along with several warning lights/symbols. I had no throttle response and the engine was stuck at approximately 1,000 rpm's. I 'limped' home at a near idle. I could press the gas pedal a little or a lot, and got nothing from the truck.

A 'throttle failure' message appeared on the dash, along with basically every…

I lifted my foot off the accelerator, but the pedal stayed on the floor and the truck kept accelerating. I then…

The car has multiple warning lights come on and then will self accelerate…
