NHTSA Complaint #11268211 — 2017 RAM 1500

THE "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" LIGHT AS WELL AS THE "CEL" ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE GOES IN TO LIMP MODE. I HAD THIS ISSUE AT 3100 MILES AND IT LEFT THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNTIL A DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A PROGRAMMING FLASH. NOW AT 31100 MILES THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET T-BONED DUE TO THE LIMP MODE CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT POWER REDUCTION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR FOUR DAYS NOW WITHOUT ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM THEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY RAM, MY TRUCK HAS THE ECODIESEL ENGINE. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE ACROSS THE FIAT/ CHRYSLER LINEUP.
