Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING MY 2005 FIVE HUNDRED TODAY. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HAD HARDLY ANY POWER. NO POWER STEERING, ALL GAUGES AT HOME AND A MESSAGE SAY "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE". I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. I'VE READ ON DIFFERENT SITES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE OF THE THROTTLE STICKING OPEN AND THE CAR LUNGING FORWARD OR BACK NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. *TR
