I have reported this before and nothing has been done I have a have a 2008 Dodge Caliber and have had to change the electrical throttle this is very serious fir my car have turned off in the middle of driving in traffic this part needed to be recalled before I all some one else get kills or get badly hurt I have had to replace this part 3 times and I'm very tired of this please find out why this part goes bad so fast on these cars I have ready plenty of stories about this part going out on these Dodge Calibers and still no recalls do something before some one gets hurts and please look into this matter because its serious when you're driving the car shuts off in traffic and I'm sure I'm not the only one that have brought this to y'all attention do something before its to late and this is my second Dodge Caliber and having the same issue with the electric throttle and my car was in motion it happened all 3 times.
The car has just shut down 3 different times now (while driving) and has left us stranded in the arizona desert each time. We will be driving and suddenly no matter how hard I press the gas pedal the car comes to a stop and will not turn back on until about 10 minutes later. I took it to brakes plus after it happened the first time and they said nothing was wrong. It then happened again a few months ago, and now again today. I am scared to put my family in the family car. Something has to be done about this. I'm going to call Dodge and get to the bottom of this. I came on here to see if anyone has had the same issue. Apparently they do. I will never buy a Dodge again unless they come up with an answer to this.
