Aloha everybody...
Been a while since I posted a thread, but needed to share a friggin' bad day with y'all.
I just got to work, reversed into one of the 2 stalls I normally park in. There is a rock wall that runs the length of the parking lot behind me. As usual, after backing into the space, I apply the parking brake, put my foot on the brake and proceed to shift it into park. Here is where it gets all ****ed up.
It takes but a split second to shift from reverse to park, and mind you, I am on the brake, and the parking brake has already been applied. In that split second, as if my truck is possessed or something, the throttle just takes off. I mean, ****ing bury the needle kind take off. all four tires are screeching (AWD), and my truck just piles into the rock wall behind. I pop it into neutral, the engine wines for about 2 more seconds, then lets off. My bed is toasted! :VHOT:
I will post pics as soon as I develop the disposable camera I bought from work.
But anyways, anyone else experience a stuck throttle? I just glad that it was the wall behind me, and not someone else's car or someone. Imagine if I was stuck in traffic...I have already contacted Chrysler Corp and filed a report about the stuck throttle, and will push for assistance in the repairs. But how can I prove the stuck throttle? For the 4 years that I have owned my truck, I have never experienced something like that. And that was ****ing jolting! Truck just kept riding into the wall until I popped it into neutral. And I am sure if there was a recall, I would have been notified. This sucks! Can anyone relate?
