06 SRT8 shuts off, then accellarates w foot on brake

Hey Guys/Gals, trying to get some ideas of what to go after on my Son's 06 SRT8 that stalled in traffic yesterday, then after it restarted, accelerated while his foot was on the brake. I know it has a linear gas pedal connected to the PCM I believe. He said he tried to pull up any codes on his dash display but none came up. He said the oil light came on when it died which is probly because the engine died. Said all the fluids are good. He's headed home from college tomorrow, bout a 4 hour ride and would like to have a game plan to fix it when he gets home. I've seen some threads when I googled shut down problems which pointed to defective pcm's...but also usually no codes set. Acted like pcm didn't know where the gas pedal was at, and started running a position check on it? stabbing in the dark here. Car has an aftermarket remote start that will start the car 2x's after you reconnect the battery? I plan to get this taken out by dealer that installed it as I think it might be interfering with the tire press monitor system, and it could be causing this latest issue too. mI appreciate any help on this.

OP - contact DodgeCares on this forum. She may be able to help you out with that warranty issue.

I've been on a waiting list for over 3 months now for mine :frown2:
Have you kept in touch with your dealer? I was told the same thing and got a call the following week that the tank was in. I have been following the same service writer to this third dealership since I bought my car new in 06, so maybe he had something to do with the quick turn aroun . Good luck.

OP, I'm chasing a similar problem with my 06, under WOT the car drops to idle, doesn't stall just stops going, let off the pedal it returns to normal and drives fine. I can approach top speed with a slower acceleration and no problems. Stomp on it and it goes momentarily then cuts out completely. The tank was replaced and I had them replace both fuel pumps while they were at it. It's also stalled twice while warming up in the garage. Weird
