That is an electronic throttle warning symbol. There is a problem with the throttle control or the gad pedal. Try having the trouble codes read.

Ivebeen having the problem for about 8 months. I took it to Many shops. Replaced the fuel pump, alternator, spark plugs, got a hands free module unplugged this helped a little the next day my car wouldn't be dead. Checked my throttle they said nothing. Gas treatments, oil change and filter. The chrylser dealrship got a code and They Sai dmy car was running at to many rmps. 140 to be exact and should be at round 80.So unplugging that helped. Got it back stopped at red lights and it would cut off again smh. They finally tell me I have a vaccum leak. Air was leaking somewhere it should ifrom a pipe and wasn't getting to the mass air flow. He put in an O ring on the leak and Calle sit fixed. But I'll be the judge of that . I got it back have been driving it round a bit. N just sit in one spot just to see if it till do. It hasn't done it. But I'm gonna continue to test and see. This has caused me great stress and money. Smh I hope this helps omeone maybe get on the right path.
