Problems with 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

While traveling on i-5 in portland, oregon, i lost control of the accelerator pedal, it when into a "dead pedal mode". i was on a very busy section of this interstate and had to immediately find a local off the side of the road next to an on ramp. it was a very dangerous situation. it was an electronic problem.

Cruise control was on and used accelerator petal to accelerate, engine rpm went to max and speed increased 20 mph and continued. tapped accerator and turned of speed control, speed continued. put gear in neutral and worked my way to road side. found that cable frayed and jammed at high rpm. disconnected cable and have not found replacement cable yet. part discontinued

While accelerating the truck start the decelerate and reaccelerate multiple times within a 2-3 second time period and the check engine light came on for large evap leak. this issue happened a number of times throughout a couple week time period. when i brought it to the dealer they said there was debris in the tank that could have clogged the lines, flushed out the lines and continued on. the issue happened again a couple of weeks later and continued for weeks. i brought it back to the dealer they said the pump was bad and needs to be replace, replaced pump continue on. after about 8 months the issue came back and check engine light came back on for large evap leak. had system check for leaks and found none. the issue still continue months later a random intervals. luckily the acceleration issue has been mostly when i was accelerating from low speeds and from stop lights. if i had this issue when trying get a cross a busy intersecting i could be killer. *tr

Vehicle idles and does not accelerate when the gas pedal is stepped on. also, vehicle tends to decelerate often when it is traveling at various speeds on the road. taken to the dealer for a total of 10 times, but the cause was still undetermined.*ak the vehicle never ran right after the wiring on the steering was replaced. cruise control or gas pedal does not work. truck caught fire in the steering column. the vehicle engine shut off by itself and started back up by itself twice. *tc
