2016 Ram 3500 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1698465
Internal NHTSA #	11365193
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	RAM
Model	3500
Model Year	2016
File date	22/09/20
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When accelerating from a full stop, the truck accelerates for less than one second. After the short burst of acceleration, it stops even though the accelerator pedal position has not changed. There is now zero acceleration for one to three seconds, leaving the truck in a potentially dangerous position. The acceleration comes back within one to three seconds and the truck drives normally after that. When you come to a full stop at a stop light or stop sign, the behavior repeats and the delay seems to decrease as the truck 'warms up'. This behavior was verified by two drivers and multiple technicians at a local dealership who are unable to identify the cause of the problem but recognize the potential danger that can be caused by the problem. The dealer has had the truck for almost one month trying to solve and continue to verify the existence and danger associated with the issue. Chrysler's star team has also been working with the dealership for the entire month and a root cause has still not been identified.
