Thanks for posting that. I'll get my Ram 1500 to the dealer asap.

Good idea SD. My question at this point is why is there not a recall of all affected vehicles immediately? How many other makers are at risk?

According to the article, almost all of them.

We have an information gap here and of course the MSM will not provide it. Can a bright teen who has read this article and has too much time on his hands, do this to any car. Now what is to stop a networker doing this to a whole lot of or all cars. What a giggle, go to an overpass near the GWB and cause a massive pile up during the morning rush. We need much more information. Screw google, if I'm in a car I'm (or a responsible adult) is doing the driving. I certainly don't want a third party in charge of the throttle or brakes. I would not buy an Onstar equipped car on principle.
