Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 20MPH AND I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PULL OVER SO I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND DROVE AS FAR RIGHT AS I COULD UNTIL I HAD ROOM TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. IT WAS A VERY BUSY PART OF THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN RAN OVER. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED AND ELECTRIC THROTTLE. THIS IS AN ISSUE DODGE CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF FOR MANY YEARS. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
