NHTSA Complaint #10395975 — 2002 DODGE RAM 2500

I OWN A 2002 DODGE RAM P U, CUMMINS DIESEL, AND MANUAL TRANS.. AND HAVE REPLACED THE TPU " THROTTLE POSITIONING UNIT" (SENSOR) 3 TIMES NOW, @ A COST OF OVER 700.00 EACH TIME. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, BUT A POTENTIALLY AND VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THESE TRUCKS. WHAT OCCURS IS A FLUCTUATION , AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATOR WITH THE PEDAL, FROM A FLUCTUATING ABILITY, TO AN ALL OUT LOSS OF POWER WHATSOEVER... THE ENGINE WILL ACCELERATE, AND THE IDLE WILL RISE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION, THEN EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESPOND AT ALL TO THE PEDAL... I USE MY PICKUP TO HAUL AND TOW MANY DIFFERENT TRAILERS, INCLUDING OUR 40 FT. 5TH WHEEL, AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN I LOOSE POWER ALTOGETHER. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS UNIT... SENSOR, AS IT IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE, IT IS MORE IMPORTANTLY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
