NHTSA Complaint #10372759 — 2003 DODGE RAM 2500

TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK ON I-65 NEAR ELIZABETHTOWN, KY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WENT TO 90 MPH WITHIN SECONDS. I FIRST TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKE TO TAKE OFF THE CRUISE, THAT DID NOTHING, I THEN PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE SCREAMED AND THE SPEAKERS BLEW, STILL GOING 90 MPH I MANUALLY TURNED OFF THE CRUISE AND THAT SLOWED IT DOWN. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT DODGE/CHRYSLER WILL NOT HONOR BECAUSE THE ECM NEEDS REPLACED NOT REPROGRAMMED. DODGE WANTS $3,473.00 FROM ME TO FIX. MY TRUCK ACCORDING TO DODGE HAD THE RECALL DONE, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I DON'T WANT TO DIE OR KILL SOMEONE IF MY TRUCK GOES OUT OF CONTROL AGAIN. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD MATTER IF IT NEEDS REPROGRAMMED OR REPLACED. A RECALL IS A RECALL AND ADMITS TO A PROBLEM. THIS RECALL REFERS TO VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL RECALL#69118 CALLED CHRYSLER 18007638422 SPOKE TO BRIAN BO52 AND LOCAL DEALER SWOPE DODGE IN E-TOWN THEY RAN A TEST TO FIND THE PROBLEM WHICH IS THE ECM NEEDED "REPLACED". THIS WOULD NOT NEED REPLACED IF THE SPEED CONTROL WORKED PROPERLY. THANK YOU
