NHTSA Complaint #10056357 — 2003 DODGE RAM 2500

I'VE HAD THIS SINCE THE DODGE C02 RECALL A WHILE BACK. HAPPENS MAYBE ONCE A WEEK, MAYBE TWICE, BUT NOT OFTEN ENOUGH TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER. HERE'S THE DEAL: YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO APPLYING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF THROTTLE TO THE VEHICLE DURING LAUNCH TO MAINTAIN RPMS. THE ENGINE RUNS UP TO 2000-3000 RPM WHEN YOU EXPECT IT TO BE AROUND 1200. THE COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE FUELING UP FOR LAUNCH, BUT DOES NOT WHEN THE RPMS COME UP. AFTER 5 SECONDS OR SO, IT WILL SUDDENLY "REALIZE" THAT IT MADE THE MISTAKE AND STARTS TO FUEL, WHEN YOU THEN HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN QUITE A BIT TO MAINTAIN THE RPMS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. CHRYSLER TECH GROUP CAN NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM SO THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN AN INJURY, AS IT IS GETTING MORE SEVERE AS TIME GOES ON. OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.
