I pulled it into the dealership and the salesman who sold me the truck just happened to be outside - pulled up and told him I wasn’t shutting this off until we get something hooked up to it to see what the issue is..  they hooked it up and it threw a code for Traction control (I believe).  They ended up keeping the truck for a week - then they said they replace a relay and the found a pinched wire….  So this happened at 32,000 miles..  Now almost a year later, the exact same thing happened tonight on Easter while I had my entire family in my truck!  Went over a couple bumps on a rough corner of a road about 30 foot from a stop sign.  My dash lit up like a Christmas tree with multiple alarms popping up and the truck continued to accelerate through the stop sign! I ended up getting the truck stopped in the middle of the intersection after I realized what just happened, luckily there was no one in front of me or at any of the stop signs as I went through!  I was only 2 miles from mg house, so I took it slow, but the truck continued to accelerate each time I took my foot off the break!  It was like hitting resume on your cruise control on the interstate after you slowed down.  Finally made it home and took pictures of the alarms that were still present.  Let my truck sit there for about an hour and started it up and it shows no messages stored but the check engine light is on.  If tonight happened at a busier intersection, I could have put my family in a life-threatening situation!  I have to other ways of transportation, I am taking a risk and putting others at risk driving to work.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"RAM","productModel":"1500","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
