Description of the problem | When accerating from a stop or even slowing down to make a turn and attempting to get up to speed, the vehicle dogs like it wants to die. Even when getting from the one ramp to the highway there is a hesitation. The rpm's go down rapidly, then i have to press the gas pedal down to get the vehicle to kick in to get it up to speed. At one point, i had to press the gas pedal down to get the acceleration i needed to avoid getting rear ended by a semi. I have had it t a dealership 4 times for this and another mechanic and was told that this is a dodge issue with the gear ratio and that is the way it is. I even had 2 mechanics drive along and they noticed it,but did nothing. This is going to get someone killed if dodge does not do something about it. This has been happening since i purchased the vehicle in 2014. This is an everyday occurrencei thought they could fix this issue and still nothing. I keep getting the run around from the local dealership on this. |
