When accelerating, if you have to let off the gas pedal quickly and try to press the pedal back to go again nothing happens. There is about a 2 to 3 second delay before the vehicle responds leaving you losing speed. I have almost been rear ended several times because of this, it is just a matter of time before it happens.

Dead pedal. Accelerator pedal delay is downright dangerous when pulling out into traffic. Problem is worse when coming to a rolling stop or slow down, then reapplying throttle. It's caused some near miss incidents. Date of incident is asked for below, but the problem has been there since day one and is consistent.

My 2014 ram diesel has what people call throttle lag. Mine is more severe than the other safety complaints filed. My truck sometimes will die when the throttle is slightly depressed then you coast to the side of the road and the truck is idling, after a few seconds you can drive off with the engine missing, then with the engine light on it will run fine for a while. It has set at the dealership going into the fourth…

I was in a left turn lane waiting for oncoming traffic to pass before commiting to my turn at a stop. I gradually depressed the accelerator to make the left turn. The truck rolled forward at a rate of about 1mph. With oncoming traffic approaching, i then fully depressed the accelerator pedal with no results. There was no change in rpm, no change in acceleration, or speed for an estimated 3 seconds. The truck then…

I own a 2014 ram 2500 crew cab with a cummins diesel motor with <5000 miles. I purchased the vehicle brand new from a ram dealer on 5.28.14. On 8/24 i put the vehicle into drive and the rpms immediately climbed and the vehicle accelerated completely on its own. I was not pushing the accelerator whatsoever. I was able to slow the vehicle down, but it was difficult to do and strained the brakes. Immediately after i…

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…

I have a 2014 ram 2500. When at a stop with the defrost on and the vehicle is regening i get the diesel exhaust smell. I understand while defrost is on, it is pulling in fresh air. I took it to dodge and they can not force regen the truck. So i took it to another shop, after putting over 300 miles on the truck. While making circles around the dealer to try and get it to act up. The other shop did a desoot. Instantly…

Either going from a dead stop or while in traffic and applying the pedal to increase speed, the engine "stalls" for a few seconds and then re-gains it normal speed. Pulling my travel trailer and attempting to pass a vehicle, the engine stalled causing me to apply the brakes and fall back in behind the vehicle i was attempting to pass. Engine stalls when not towing and when towing. Many close calls from being hit due…

A dead throttle pedal occurs at two different instances. One, when from a dead stop pulling out into traffic. The accelerator pedal will press but the vehicle will not go or change rpm for a second, then the vehicle will move. Two, when trying to pass someone, occasionally the vehicle will exhibit the same dead pedal response for a moment then accelerate. This is most definitely unsafe for my family. Multiple…
