The roads were slick and I was traveling slow came over the crest of a small hill over bypass and headed down hill braking slowly I could tell it felt like I wasn't slowing down like I expected as I approached a vehicle ahead of me stopped at the traffic light, so I pumped the brakes twice and the engine roared and my truck raced forward and crashed into the vehicle ahead of me. The other driver was very angry and wouldn't believe me when I tried to explain what happened. He would not exchange information with me. My foot did not slip. I can't even get my truck to surge forward like that if I hit the gas hard

  • 18,000 miles
My 2010 Dodge Dakota 4dr 4X4 has turned off while on am driving down the road. I notified the dealership shortly after I purchased it (purchased used with about 17,000 miles) and they said that nothing showed/they did not find anything wrong. I said ok, and then it happened again and again. It just shuts down, I have my foot on the gas and all of the sudden I am wondering why I'm slowing down when I have my foot on the gas and then notice "O" the truck turned off! lucky the 5-6 times this has happened I have not been on a straight part of the road, it seems to loose power steering and brakes, I am not sure if other electrical things like radio and lights turn off to, I am just concerned with getting to a stop safely to start the truck again. And I put it in park once stopped and it starts right back up. This has happened 5-6 times at least since I have purchased the truck about 2 years ago (maybe 3 yrs ago). I am wondering if this is the same problem that they just discovered in other Dodge vehicles simple to the Chevy ignition recall.
