Consumer Description
While in stop and go traffic my foot was easing off of brake to role forward. The vehicle began a rapid acceleration. I was able to for the brake pedal down but rear tires began spinning and rpm shot up. Applied left foot on brake pedal and with all my strength pressed brake. The vehicle moved forward almost impacting car in front. I was able to angle vehicle while braking without collision. The rear tires were spinning and smoking while occurring. Total event lasted a couple seconds but seemed like eternity. No damage but very concerned and wary of vehicle operation. Believe related to the etorque system! If I was in school zone may have resulted in catastrophic consequences and loss of life. Needs immediate attention! Vehicle has been recovered by ram dealership for testing.
