2015 Ram 3500 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1241548
Internal NHTSA #	10806542
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	RAM
Model	3500
Model Year	2015
File date	23/11/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The new dodge ram equipped with cummins diesel experience a dead pedal, or pedal delay when pressing the gas pedal 3/4 to full throttle. This poses a serious risk when needing to get out of the way, or move the vehicle under emergency circumstances. This happens under all conditions: stopped, rolling, under acceleration etc. If you push the pedal too far the truck will not respond to operator commands and will take 1. 5-2 seconds to start picking up speed. This is a seriously dangerous situation and someone is going to get killed or seriously injured. There is not excuse for a vehicle not responding to driver input. Manufacture claims "turbo lag", this is simply not true. You can build turbo boost, monitored on the vehicle gauge, then press the pedal to the floor, the truck will not respond for 1. 5 to 2 seconds. Please look at further information on the cummins forum below, it has numerous articles about this issue. Here as a link to just one of them. Http://www. Cumminsforum. Com/forum/2013-general-discussion/1836593-very-slow-throttle-response. Html please, help fix this issue before someone gets hurt or killed due to the inability to move the vehicle out of harms way. This tsb somewhat addresses the problem, but only fixes it partially, not to the point that it is safe. Tsb 18-041-15 i believe the manufacture knows this is an issue, but is not fixing it due to emissions related programming on the vehicle. There are aftermarket solutions to this problem, however they void the manufacture warranty, and im not willing to lose my warranty on a new vehicle. I will be submitting another one of these for my 2015 as well, since they both have the same issue. Thank you.
