2014 Ram 3500 Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1367728
Internal NHTSA #	10969834

Model	3500
Model Year	2014
File date	31/03/17
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Low engine rpm throttle response from dead stop or rolling pace (5-35 mph) experiences 3-5 second lag before engine responds and accelerates. This has caused numerous close calls when turning in front of oncoming traffic on clear road conditions. To compensate, my driving habits have resorted to "power brake" the vehicle to increase engine rpm's in order to accelerate and clear oncoming traffic. I have owned/driven 3/4 & 1 ton cummins diesel vehicles prior to my 2014 model with no similar issues. When towing, the issue is much less noticeable. At this point i am ready to sell and buy another brand due to safety concerns. My wife does not feel safe driving or riding in the vehicle and is concerned that i transport our kids to and from school daily in the vehicle. Online research indicates this is a common issue with this model/year group and has coined the condition as "dead pedal". It seems that this dead pedal condition continues to worsen with my vehicle the more it is driven. Not sure what next steps are here, i explained my experiences to multiple service techs and larry h miller dodge in sandy ut, where i have the vehicle serviced... It was the "first time they had heard of it" response each time. No help to be found at the dealership. Not sure where else to turn for help with my ~$60k vehicle that myself and family don't feel safe driving.
