Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Very slow to respond throttle pedal, its to a point of not safe to pullout in traffic or merge onto a highway. There is 2-4 seconds of idle while pedal is to the floor, then the engine will start to increase rpm at a slow rate of speed. Also the transmission will seem to be in neutral at times when turning into an elevated parking lot or driveway. Apply more throttle and clunks back into gear then will continue to move forward. At times coming to a stop, the transmission will stay in a higher gear or the lockup converter is staying locked up. Trying to stop with typical brake pedal pressure will not stop the truck when this is happening. You really need to apply pedal pressure until it completely stops rolling then it seems to reset or go back to normal. Ram dealers claim its characteristics of the truck and they say that ram star says its normal. A little research online and you will find this to be a major issue. I am looking into lemon law or getting an attorney. $60k truck and its unsafe to drive. Completely unsatisfied with my purchase
