My car electronic throttle light keeps coming on along with my traction light. It started doing it once every other month. Then every month. And now 2-5 times a week. It happens each time I am driving, it starts to idle hard. And if I don't pull over the car dies. I shut my car off. Give it about 5 seconds. Then restart it and go on. It may take 2-3 days but then it does it again.

2008 Dodge Charger. Consumer writes in regards to parts not available to repair transmission/gear switch recall or wireless ignition node module recall notices.
I received two recall notices and I went to the dealer three times to have the car serviced. Every time I returned for my appointment I was advised that the part is not in and they would call me when it was available. Because this occurrence happened more than one time I feel they are not trying to resolve my issue. Because of the safety hazard I would like to get this fixed immeadiately.
Takata airbag R25/nhtsa15V-313 wireless ignition node module P57/NHTSA 14V-567 I have had notice of these recalls for almost a year. I have contacted dealer on numerous occasions and keep getting told parts are not available. These need to be fixed or we will go lawsuit.
