Default Throttle Control - Red Lightning Bolt

I have about 32k on my 09' hemi and I have been having quite a few problems that the dealer can't seem to figure out. The main one that I am having problems with is the Red lightning bolt comes on by the gauge cluster. I have not been able to figure out exactly what is causing it. It happens at many different times. The dealer tells me that there is a code in the computer that says I have been hitting the brake and the gas at the same time. Trust me, this is not the case by no means. I have had it happen while I was down shifting going down a hill. When I remote started it and returned to the truck and it was blinking when I got in. I have had it while I was accelerating onto a highway and coasting down a hill. The dealership has not been very much help and I even asked them if they could call into STAR and see if they can explore other options. They keep saying to me that if Dodge hasn't come out with a fix for it, then there is nothing they can do.

Has anyone else out there ran into this problem?

You may want to try another dealer if possible and see what they say. It may be a sensor in the throttle body or your computer may need a reboot.
