NHTSA Complaint #10822987 — 2012 DODGE RAM 2500

RAM 2500 6.7 DIESEL. TRUCK HAS A 1-3 SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THEN PRESSING IT AGAIN. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO TURBO-LAG LIKE OTHERS MAY HAVE ASSUMED, BUT RATHER ENGINE MANAGEMENT. EXAMPLE: IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG IN TOWN AT 30 MPH, COME TO AN INTERSECTION AND START TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THEN DECIDE THAT ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS TOO CLOSE SO YOU BACK OFF THE THROTTLE, THEN CHANGE YOUR MIND AGAIN AND STEP ON IT TO MAKE THE TURN, THE ENGINE SIMPLY DOES NOT RESPOND. IF IT IS ANY CONSOLATION, I KNOW OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES, WITH MODEL YEARS FROM 2010 TO PRESENT, AND ALL WITH THE 6.7 CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL ENGINE.
