ATTN FRANK BORRIS. UPON PUSHING THROTTLE TO WOT THE CABLE STUCK. I NOTICED THE PEDAL WOULDN'T RETURN AT ABOUT 35 MPH. I REACHED 80-90MPH BEFORE HITTING THE BRAKES. AT 40 MPH I PUT THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I LOST STEERING AND MY POWER BRAKES AND WENT INTO A DITCH. I SUFFERED NO INJURIES AND MY TRUCK SUFFERED NO SERIOUS DAMAGE. I MANAGED TO FREE THE CABLE AND RETURN TO HOME WITH CAUTION AND LOW THROTTLE. I REPLACED THE CABLE (WHICH DODGE HAD IN STOCK). WHEN I TOOK THE OLD ONE OUT I NOTICED THE CABLE FRAYED INSIDE THE SHEATH. I HAD NOTICED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT (THANKS TO THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TDR) THE CABLE STARTED TO FRAY NEAR THE BALL CUP AT THE END. I CUT OFF A BROKEN STRAND AT THE BALL CUP. I COULDN'T NOTICE THE BROKEN STRANDS IN THE SHEATH AT THAT TIME. I'M SENDING THE CABLE (VIA FRANK BORRIS) FOR YOUR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *AK

HAD JUST STARTED VEHICLE UP. LEFT VEHICLE FOR AWHILE. COULD HEAR ENGINE REVVING/RACING VERY FAST & HIGH IN GARAGE. VEHICLE MOVED & PINNED OWNER AGAINST GARAGE WALL. *AK

I HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF REPORTING SERIOUS MAJOR SAFETY COMPONENT PROBLEMS AND FAILURES TO CHRYSLER ON BOTH OF MY VEHICLES. MY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS RESULTING FROM FAILED SAFETY COMPONENTS. EACH TIME AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. HOWEVER, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. IN THE CASE OF THE BRAKE LINE FAILURE IT INVOLVES EVERY 1195 BR2500 HD PICKUP TRUCK. CHRYSLER FOUND AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AT SOME POINT BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PART IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE BENDS WHICH CAUSE THE LINE TO RUB AGAINST THE WHEEL RIM ON TURNS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES THAT WERE CAUSED BY CHRYSLER. HOW DO I GET MY MONEY BACK?
