Description of the problem | On pressing the accelerator pedal, there is a noticeable hesitation before the powertrain responds. I fear one day getting t boned (side impact) from another motorist that is unable to stop or not realizing this is happening to me and not slow down quick enough. This is only noticeable from accelerating from takeoff as in later gears the response from accelerator to response is faster. I bought this truck used almost 2 months ago and dealerships and ram cummins forums site this as a common problem! |
