I WAS DRIVING ON AN ON-RAMP TO ENTER THE FREEWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE RPMS CLIMBED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF AT THIS TIME. I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE'S RPMS AND SPEED ROLLED BACK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND I DIDN'T NOTICE IF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON OR OFF. THE TRUCK DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE @ 70MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS OFF. I PULLED INTO THE PASSING LANE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED AND THE PEDAL SEEMED TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, BUT COULD NOT DISENGAGE IT. I TRIED TURNING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF, BUT THAT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE PEDAL EITHER. I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES AT THIS TIME, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE, BUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED RED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS LIGHT. I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL (RPMS STILL HIGH) AND STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. THE ENGINE STARTED IDLING DOWN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, SLOWING DOWN TO GET OFF THE EXIT, DOING APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MPH. I MY PASSENGER AND I HEARD SOME STRANGE NOISES IN THE REAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BOUNCE AROUND VIOLENTLY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN DECEMBER OF 2016, THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED MID NOVEMBER 2017. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THE RECALL, AND FOLLOWED UP WITH SOME CALLS TO DEALERS. THIS ISSUE WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESOLVED IN MARCH 2016 IN PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN LEWISTOWN PENNSYLVANIA. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT A DEALERSHIP WHERE IT HAS BEEN SINCE DECEMBER 14, AND THEY TELL ME IT MIGHT NOT GET IN THE SHOP UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. I CONTACTED DODGE, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT HELP ME UNTIL AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC. I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU IN THE EVENT THEY DENY MY CLAIM UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. THE SHOP MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TELLS ME EVEN WITH A DIAGNOSIS HE CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED PROPERLY OR NOT, WHICH WOULD LEAVE ME WITH A HUGE BILL FOR SOMETHING I BELIEVE IS THEIR FAULT FOR NOT USING PROPER PARTS OR NOT REPAIRING THE PART PROPERLY UNDER A RECALL WARRANTY.

MIDDLE AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS BOTH BROKE AND THE DRIVER SEAT NO LONGER STAYS LOCKED IN POSISTION BESIDES THE 3 RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS AND REAR AXLE
