Consumer Description

ON 7/26/03 MY DAUGHTER AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APROX. 30 MILES AND WHILE MAINTAINING A SPEED OF 60-65MPH THE ENGINE STARTED TO "REV" ITSELF AND WOULD MAKE SUDDEN BACK & FORTH JERK MOTIONS. IT WOULD JUMP FORWARD THEN STALL. THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY LOCKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN WHEN I STOOD ON IT. WHILE STILL AT APROX. 60 MPH I WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND EVENTUALLY STOP THE TRUCK BY PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND COASTING AS IT EVENTUALLY LOST SPEED AND STOPPED. AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION (NOT THE FIRST) COURTESY OF DODGE. IN ADDITION I HAVE PROBLEMS STOPPING THE TRUCK WITHOUT IT SLIDINGWHEN I AM FORCED TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THE TRUCK SKIDS OR SLIDES A FEW FEET BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPS. THIS CONTINUES EVEN WITH NEW TIRES. THIS SITUATION ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT INVOLVING SMALL CHILDREN CROSSING THE ROAD.
