Description of the problem | Under certain driving condition the throttle does not respond in a timely manner. In merging traffic if you let up on the throttle and then apply it again, the engine does not respond for up to 2 seconds. This is a very dangerous situation, in heavy traffic many have complained to fca/ram starting with the 2013 model through the current models. There are many similar complaints of "dead pedal" on each year and 2500 or 3500 with diesel engines, both with the 68rfe and aisin transmitter. Some trucks and/or drivers have more trouble with the issue than others. It is past time for you to get ram to address this issue. I look through the manufacturers communication section and see no response to this issue. There are many complaints on your site cover this time frame for the year/models, and that is a tip of the iceberg. I have learn to drive around this issue most of the time, however i worry that my wife that drives the truck in the winter in arizona could get in a bad accident because of this. I would gladly talk to someone about this issue. |
