NHTSA Complaint #11391063 — 2019 RAM 1500

I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY IN TRAFFIC. I WAS ACCELERATING AT ABOUT HALF THROTTLE OR LESS, WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR (FULL THROTTLE). THE TRUCK ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL, I TRIED LIFTING THE GAS PEDDLE WITH MY TOE AND IT KEPT GOING STRAIGHT BACK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS BRAKING AND TRYING TO NOT CRASH. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE INTO AN EMPTY LANE AND GET THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT A STOP THE GAS PEDDLE REMAINED ALL THE WAY AT THE FLOOR. I LIFTED THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY TOE AND IT WOULD FALL BACK TO FULL THROTTLE. I SHIFTED TO PARK AND THE PEDDLE RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL LEVEL. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE TRUCK WILL NOT GO ANY HIGHER THAN 4TH GEAR NOW AND GOT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.
