NHTSA Complaint #10627799 — 2014 RAM 2500

THERE IS ABOUT A 1 FULL SECOND DELAY FROM THE MOMENT YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE MOMENT THE TRUCK ACCELERATES. I HAVE READ IT IS JUST SOMETHING YOU GET USED TO AND I HAVE TRIED. I REALIZED HOW DANGEROUS IT REALLY IS WHILE VISITING MY IN-LAWS LAST MONTH. THE STREET LEAVING THEIR COMMUNITY EXITS ON TO A 45 MPH ROAD WHERE THE INTERSECTION IS ON A BLIND CURB AND OVERGROWN. SEVERAL TIMES DURING MY VISIT I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND DURING THE FULL SECOND DELAY, A CAR WOULD COME INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. I WOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO GO INTO EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHILE OVERGROWN BLIND INTERSECTIONS AREN'T THE NORM, THEY DO EXIT AND THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION ENDANGERS OCCUPANTS IN MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. *TR
