The cruise control on the vehicle doest work. It seems to be something wrong with the system, because it starts to somewhat work when i reboot the system to factory settings. After a while, the system just stops working. I guess that this is something a lot of people go through, since there's tons of youtube videos about people trying to fix it.

The truck was recalled and repaired or up dated as per recall notices. Then i started having trouble with my cruise control. My dealer checked the switch and fuse , they where ok. The tech said there is maybe something broke in the clock spring. I only have 29k on the truck. I think they may have broke something in one of the recall fixes. There seems to be other people with the same trouble. I don't think they…

On december 21st, 2018 i took my truck to a car wash. Following the initial cleaning the attendant placed the truck in neutral, exited the truck, engaged the track mechanism and walked back to the next truck in line.

I have been receiving a fault code on my truck for "electronic throttle control" i take it to an auto parts store and dealership to only be told no codes are present, even when they see the light on the dash. Since having the code pop up my fuel consumption has increased drastically. My avg mpg went from 14.6mpg to 10.2mpg, with the same driving conditions and same route that i have driven the last 4 years. I have…

I noticed my steering wheel was off center. Also the electronic stability control system was going off repeatedly. I took it to a dealership for inspection and they found no "codes" in the computer and could not get the esc to go off while driving. They neglected to notice my steering was off center. They said nothing was wrong with the vehicle and to just turn off the esc and if it went off again to stop and turn…

Dead pedal issue- when you need to accelerate quickly in traffic, and you push the accelerator pedal more than about 70%, the truck just sits there... Like there is no power. It will eventually (4-6 seconds later) slowly increase speed, or if you feather the pedal, it will accelerate into traffic. This is a safety concern when pulling into traffic from a side street, or other times when entering faster moving…

Vehicle consistently has no throttle response for a second or two when going from stationary to full throttle. Primarily when making a quick decision to pull out at an intersection or merge into traffic. If the accelerator is pushed then released and pushed again there is an extremely lag. This is especially dangerous due to the fact that if you are needing full throttle acceleration all of my situations have…

Periodically when pressing gas pedal i get no response and truck just lags. Unfortunately this seems to always happen when i'm trying to merge onto the highway or when i'm making a left turn and although i make the turn with oncoming traffic at a good distance sometimes the truck just stops and i have a delay before the truck starts moving again while i'm sitting right in the way of oncoming traffic.

Very long (2-5sec) hesitation occasionally on acceleration. Mostly occurs when leaving a stop or accelerating from very low speeds. I have had a few near misses because of this. Attempts to have the dealer remedy this issue has yielded no results.

Vehicle Speed Control
On multiple occasions i have completely lost throttle response for up to 3-5 seconds. The most severe occasions are when trying to turn left across a 2 lane highway or changing lanes/merging in heavy traffic. The throttle response loss aka "dead pedal" is heavily documented in cummins forums is easily duplicated by barely touching the throttle, letting off for a split second, and then hitting the throttle again.…

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the brake pedal switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact stated that a load noise was present coming from…

I have a 2014 ram with the cummins diesel engine. Throttle lag on these trucks is dangerous. There is also very significant lag after the gas pedal has been released and then pressed once again. *tr

While driving the vehicle i needed to change lanes and speed up. A vehicle was to my right and infront of me. I had to let off the throttle for a second to let the vehicle next to me pass. As i pressed the throttle to accelerate and pass the vehicle in front of me there was no response from the vehicle. There was at least a two second delay before the vehicle started accelerating. This has happened several times.…

There is about a 1 full second delay from the moment you press the accelerator and the moment the truck accelerates. I have read it is just something you get used to and i have tried. I realized how dangerous it really is while visiting my in-laws last month. The street leaving their community exits on to a [redacted] where the intersection is on a blind curb and overgrown. Several times during my visit i would…

Dead pedal after lifting off throttle completely and then reapplying throttle. Have to wait 2-3 seconds before truck does anything and its not turbo lag. I've tried rolling off the throttle and also lifting off throttle quickly and it makes no difference, there is no response at all from the truck for an unsafe amount of time. Going through intersections it can be scary at times. *tr

When accelerating then letting off accelerator for a brief moment then trying to re-accelerate there is no response / dead pedal delay for 2 seconds then the truck will accelerate. Very dangerous in traffic situations. Dealer is aware of problem and can duplicate all the time. No solution at this time.

This is regarding the 6.7l cummins engine. Throttle lag from a dead stop such as merging into traffic or crossing a road is dangerous. This lag could very well cause me to get rear ended or broad sided. There is also very significant lag after the gas pedal has been released and then pressed once again. An example is when slowing down when approaching a slower car and then changing lanes and pressing and…

This vehicle has the worst acceleration and take off i have ever noticed. If i had to get out of the way of something, i would not be able too. If not fixed this will defiantly cause an accident. I can't even pull out onto the highway and get up to the same speed as other traffic. When i got in my wreck in june i was trying to pass someone who was driving slow and i could not get around them quick enough and they…
