general problems of the 2013 Dodge Ram 1500

While driving my trucks dash will go blank, the vehicle shuts off and then resets. The last time this occured, when the vehicle reset the throttle came back on wide open and almost caused a loss of control. I reacted by manualy shutting down the vehicle and coming to a rest on the shoulder of the road. Once I restarted the vehile all was ok. I was only a mile form the Dodge dealer and returned it to them for a diagnosis. Again, nothing found. This has happened several times (dash resetting while driving approximately 10 times in the last 2 months) but only once has it came back on full throttle. I have been to the dealership three times for the dash resetting just to have them tell me they cannot duplicate the incident. This is a valid safety issue and needs to be addressed. After reviewing the Dodge ram forums, I notice several people with the same issue.

After a weekend of camping I loaded up the truck and was on my way home doing approx 45-55 mph. I stop at a red light and as soon as I get a green I proceed to accelerate except I have no acceleration. I looked down and see "service throttle control". My vehicle has now entered limp mode leaving me to drive 120 miles home on the interstate at 15-25 mph with very limited acceleration if any. Also 3 weeks before this I had sparatic acceleration at stoplights almost as if my truck wanted to jump into the back seat of the car ahead of me. I did not think too much of this as it only happened a hand full a time and thought it to be fuel in the lines but now that ive done my research I nkow this to be the issue. This is a very unsafe condition and needs answers.

While accelerating the throttle goes all the way to the floor and accelerates on its own. It sticks, and will not slow down the only way to stop the vehicle is to turn it off or take out of gear which revs the motor.

When traveling with the cruse control on, set or not, some times when pressing the resume button, the cruse control shuts off completely. Requiring you to get your foot on the gas fast. This can be a problem when navigating traffic, and using the cruse to bump up the speed a couple on mph, and instead you just lost some, and the guy behind you thinks you are a jerk for pulling in the passing lane and slowing down. That is if he notices and don't run in to you first. Or you settle back into traffic hit the resume, take your foot off the pedal, and then realize you are slowing down very fast. I don't know how often this has happened but I would guess over 100 time so far. At first I thought I was inadvertently hitting the off button, then I saw my thumb was now where near the off button when it happened. It has been doing this from new.

After coming to slower speeds (45 mph) from highways speeds (75) my vehicle was driving by itself without my foot on the gas. This has happened multiple times and it keeps a constate speed of 35 mph. The furthest I have driven like this is 2. 5 miles.
