Consumer Description

RECEIVED INDICATOR LIGHT THAT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAILED, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MY CAR DROPPED SPEED TO 20 MILES AN HOUR, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WITH TWO CHILDREN IN MY CAR. I HAVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL DODGE CERTIFIED MECHANICS AND THEY HAS ALL ATTESTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOT BEING FIXED. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID MY ISSUE WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I SPOKE TO THEIR MECHANICS AND RESEARCH AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE THEY SAID AND I QUOTE "YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING YOU WANT IF YOU SEARCH LONG ENOUGH". SOME ONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEIR CAR DROPS TO 20 MILES AN HOUR ON A FREEWAY. *TR
