While driving 5 mph up a hill the throttle cable and linkage broke which resulted in the brake pedal going to the floor board, causing loss of vehicle control. Dealer has been contacted.

problem #1

Ram 3500

  • miles
A solid steel adjusting rod in throttle linkage has broken three times. Each incident causes vehicle to fall into an idling gear during normal operation of vehicle, and has occurred at various speeds. Dealership was able to examine vehicle on the third incident because it took place in that area. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
