I was on the freeway going 74 in moderately heavy traffic when a person was going about 65 in the fast lane. Everyone started moving
right as I did. I just got into the right lane when the Electronic Throttle Light came on and the acceleration dropped suddenly. Fortunately the truck
following me was far enough behind that he was able to swerve around me. As luck would have it happened by an exist and I took it. Pulled in to a parking areaand turned off the truck. I turned back on, the electronic throttle light was still on. Oddly too, I was stuck in park. Turning it off and three times.The third time the parking brake released. I tried driving it on the side road I was on. The ETC light was still and the top speed was about 20. Grrr,had to have it towed home about 100 miles away. 2023 Ram 1500 Ecodesiel with 11,300 miles on it.
