Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN ICY ROAD AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO NEAR REDLINE, SENT THE TRUCK SIDEWAYS AND WITHIN SECONDS OF DISASTER THE ENGINE FINALLY DECELERATED AND I GOT CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. AFTER CAUTIOUSLY LIMPING THE TRUCK HOME, LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE, THEN AFTER SHORT TIME WAS ERRATIC. THIS IS A POSSIBLE DEADLY SITUATION IF THIS OCCURRED IN THE WRONG SITUATION. DODGE/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. A CODE OF P2121 AND P2123 CAME UP AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PART ALONE IS 530.00 TO REPLACE. HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION YET TO GET THIS ITEM FIXED. WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK, WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED. NOT AT ALL IMPRESSED WITH DODGE'S PRODUCT AND WILL BE THE LAST TIME I PURCHASE AN "AMERICAN" MADE PRODUCT. VEHICLE: 2004 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 AUTOMATIC ENGINE: CUMMINS H/O TURBO DIESEL OUTSIDE TEMP -10F SNOWY CONDITIONS, *TR
