Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I NEEDED TO MERGE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. AS I ACCELERATED I SUDDENLY NEEDED TO LET OFF HE THROTTLE DUE TO CONDITIONS. WHEN THE THROTTLE WAS REAPPLIED I HAD A COMPLETELY DEAD GAS PEDAL THAT WAS NOT RESPONSIVE. THE TRUCK REMAINED UNRESPONSIVE FOR A SOLID 2-3 SECONDS, THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE TRUCK NEVER QUIT RUNNING AND NO DASH LIGHTS INDICATED A PROBLEM DURING THIS INCIDENT. OVER THE LAST YEAR OF DRIVING THE TRUCK IT HAS DONE IT NUMEROUS TIMES AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. I AM ALSO ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM TIME & TIME AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER SHIP THAT ITS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AND IS ALL OVER VARIOUS RAM FORUMS. *TR
