The vehicle has serious issues with it's emissions system. First the egr was replaced at a dealership for $2,000 and they must not have reprogrammed the computer because after the installation the entire exhaust system failed and it went into limp mode at 10 mph and now it is another $7,000 repair. Dodge should be recalling this truck for emissions system problems since it's apparently a known issue.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Vehicle has an accelerator lag when pushing down fast on the throttle. In circumstances where you need the vehicle to respond quickly in order to avoid another vehicle the accelerator lags for 1 to 3 seconds before responding. This occurred while in very slow motion crossing a city street. Was turning across tracfic where vehicles were coming over a hill.

Drove for about 17 miles and parked at a store. Within 5 minutes of parking the truck, white smoke could be seen coming from the hood on the passenger side. As i approached the truck flames came out from under the hood in the same area. Grabbed a fire extinguisher and returned within one minute to find entire engine compartment in flames. Unable to open the hood so the fire extinguisher was not much good. Fire…

This truck has a very capable motor. However, the electronics governing the motor have made it unsafe. When you floor the gas pedal (and really need the truck to move for safety, to clear an intersection or merge) there is no response. Knowing trucks like i do, this vehicle should have more than enough power to move swiftly but instead it just crawls due to electronic regulation on the motor. This is a huge safety…

When accelerating from stop, or from low speeds, the vehicle has a 4-5 second delay before the turbo spools up. Feels like a dead pedal when merging into traffic.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Vehicle has high delay time when accelerating to full throttle. There is a 2-4 second delay when depressing the pedal to full throttle before the engine responds. This is a major safety concern when entering an intersection or merging into high speed traffic. I feel as though this much lag time is excessive and needs to be addressed as it is a matter of time before this results in an accident.

When i accelerate there is a lag. This is from a stop or while applying the accelerator, and pushing it more to pass or merge. Also this lag at any speed seems to make the truck lunge, and it feels like it may be shifting wrong.

Fuel/Propulsion System
After letting up on the accelerator for a moment, then attempting to accelerate, there is no throttle response for 1-2 seconds. In conditions such as changing lanes into faster traffic, or pulling out into traffic from a slow roll, the vehicle decelerates or fails to accelerate, causing a hazard to oncoming traffic. This issue is easily demonstrated while driving by momentarily removing your foot from the…

When accelerating from a dead stop there is about a 3-5 second lag before i gain any speed. This is very dangerous as i have to plan ahead before i drive. If i make a mistake it could cause a severe accident.

Accelerated onto highway entrance ramp and vehicle continued to accelerate on its own up to 80+ mph. Required hard breaking to get vehicle under control since the electronic ignition will not allow it to be turned off unless the transmission is in park. Required such heavy braking that brakes smoked for several minutes once vehicle was shut down. This incident would have resulted in serious injury and damage if it…

While towing a travel trailer, accelerator was applied to allow me to pass some slow semi's. There was no response from the accelerator as i held it down for about 10 seconds. Exhaust brake engaged!! It wasnt even on!! However, i had the cruise control on but not engaged. I quickly engaged the resume feature and used the accelerate function of the cruise control to speed up to avoid an accident. This has happened on…

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.

Fuel/Propulsion System
While accelerating from a stop or driving at slower speeds, releasing and then re applying the accelerator, there is a few second delay before the engine will respond. Its not usually a big deal but if there comes a time when quick thinking and a heavy foot can get you out of a bind, it wont happen. The "dead pedal" delay is ugly and has potential to cause problems for drivers.

When i start from a dead stop or when pulling out in traffic and have to let off the accelerator and then immediately accelerate again. The engine will stall almost to the point that the truck stops. It has stalled to the point that on coming traffic has had to stop or hit me. I have taken it to the dealership, they kept it several days. And they said the engineers at chrysler said nothing is wrong with it. But the…
