Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREET I LOST ACCELERATION POWER, THE TRACTION LIGHT AND THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT CAME ON. MY CAR SPEED DECREASED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE TO OVER 12 MILES AN HOUR. I WAS ON A CITY STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE POWER DECREASES AND ANOTHER VEHICLE ALMOST RAN INTO MY TRUCK AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. MY CAR HAS CODED THE SAYING THAT MY THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THROTTLE WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR TRACTION LIGHT AND THE LIGHTNING BOLT STILL APPEARED ON THE DASH. THE CAR WILL NOT INCREASE TO OVER 12 MILES AN HOUR. MY CAR IS AT THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC HAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES SHOULD BE ON RECALL BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 6 DODGE'S THAT HE HAS REPAIRED WITH THE SAME ISSUE.
