UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITION THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER. IN MERGING TRAFFIC IF YOU LET UP ON THE THROTTLE AND THEN APPLY IT AGAIN, THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND FOR UP TO 2 SECONDS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MANY HAVE COMPLAINED TO FCA/RAM STARTING WITH THE 2013 MODEL THROUGH THE CURRENT MODELS. THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF "DEAD PEDAL" ON EACH YEAR AND 2500 OR 3500 WITH DIESEL ENGINES, BOTH WITH THE 68RFE AND AISIN TRANSMITTER. SOME TRUCKS AND/OR DRIVERS HAVE MORE TROUBLE WITH THE ISSUE THAN OTHERS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR YOU TO GET RAM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I LOOK THROUGH THE MANUFACTURERS COMMUNICATION SECTION AND SEE NO RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE COVER THIS TIME FRAME FOR THE YEAR/MODELS, AND THAT IS A TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I HAVE LEARN TO DRIVE AROUND THIS ISSUE MOST OF THE TIME, HOWEVER I WORRY THAT MY WIFE THAT DRIVES THE TRUCK IN THE WINTER IN ARIZONA COULD GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. I WOULD GLADLY TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

ON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE HESITATION BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN RESPONDS. I FEAR ONE DAY GETTING T BONED (SIDE IMPACT) FROM ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT IS UNABLE TO STOP OR NOT REALIZING THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME AND NOT SLOW DOWN QUICK ENOUGH. THIS IS ONLY NOTICEABLE FROM ACCELERATING FROM TAKEOFF AS IN LATER GEARS THE RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR TO RESPONSE IS FASTER. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO AND DEALERSHIPS AND RAM CUMMINS FORUMS SITE THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM!

DURRING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE HAS SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THROTTLE RESPOSE, AS NOTED IN FORUMS AS A "DEAD THROTTLE". THE DELAY CAN BE AS SIGNIFICANT AS A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESPONDS. I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD OCCUR IN SITUATION WHEN ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE IS NESSECARY AND THE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DELAY HAPPENS OFTEN, AND HAS BEEN DOING IT OVER THE SPAN OF SEVERAL MONTHS.

WHEN ACCELERATING (EITHER FROM A STOP OR A ROLLING STOP) AND THEN BRAKING AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN, THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE. SOME CALL THIS "DEAD PEDAL" BUT I FEEL IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT LEAVES VULNERABLE IN TRAFFIC TO A COLLISION. IT'S HAPPENED TO ME NUMEROUS TIMES AND AGAIN TODAY. I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE WHEN IT WAS MY TURN, ABOUT 1/3 WAY INTO THE INTERSECTION, A VEHICLE TRAFFIC IGNORED THE STOP SIGN AND ATTEMPTED TO CROSS MY LINE OF TRAVEL. I HAD TO BREAK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK HESITATED WHICH LEFT ME IN THE INTERSECTION. IF THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT A FASTER RATE, IT WOULD HAVE T-BONED ME. AS IT WAS, THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER HIS VEHICLE AROUND ME. TO ME, THIS ISN'T A DELAY IN WHICH THE TURBO SPOOLS UP TO HELP DELIVER POWER. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE THROTTLE IS DEAD HOWEVER THE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING. THE HESITATION CAN LAST ABOUT A SECOND OR SO BUT IN THAT TIME, I FEEL THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE.

HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND AGAIN YESTERDAY. BOTH TIMES WERE SIMILAR SITUATIONS: PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, DOING A RIGHT TURN ON RED - AFTER STOPPING. PULL OUT WITH LIGHT THROTTLE AS NORMAL AND THEN POWER DROPS TO NOTHING FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN IT TAKES OFF! VERY DISCONCERTING WHEN TRAFFIC IS COMING AT YOU. BTW: I'M A CONSERVATIVE DRIVER AND NEVER HOT ROD AND RARELY USE MORE THAN LIGHT THROTTLE.

IN JUNE 2016, TOWING A 14 FOOT LIGHT TRAILER UP SONORA PASS ON HWY 108 IN CALIFORNIA, THE TRUCK BUCKED, STUDDERED AND SHOOK IN FIRST GEAR, STALLED AND SLIPPED BACKWARD TOWARDS A 1000 FOOT CLIFF, IT THEN LUNGED INTO GEAR AND IT WAS SMOKING THE TIRES. I LET IT DO THAT TO GAIN TRACTION AND THEN SLOWLY MADE MY WAY BACK UP. I CANNOT TOW ANYTHING OUT OF FIRST GEAR WITHOUT THE BUCKING AND STUDDERS, AND LOSING FORWARD MOMENTUM, ANYWHERE. ALMOST LOST IT ALL THAT DAY INCLUDING MY LIFE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. 2 DEALERSHIPS IN 2 STATES ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, STATE THEY HAVE OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT DODGE CANNOT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND A FIX OR THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS DEFECT. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO TOW ANYTHING ANYWHERE AND THAT IS OBSURD FOR A RAM 3500. THIS TRUCK IS ADVERTISED AS THE NUMBER ONE TRUCK FOR TOWING, BUT IT JUST CAN'T DO THE JOB SAFELY. PLEASE VIEW LETTER SENT TO DEALERSHIP DATED JULY 9TH. 2016.
