Consumer Description

FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS, THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RESPOND FOR ABOUT TWO SECONDS. THERE IS A SEVERE RESPONSE IN THE THROTTLE FROM WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO WHEN THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STARTS TO MOVE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO SWITCH LANES OR ACCELERATE AND IT JUST SITS THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE ESPECIALLY ONES UNFAMILIAR WITH DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THIS SAME PROBLEM EXISTS IN ALL RAM 2500 AND 3500 WITH THE TURBO DIESEL MOTOR FROM YEARS 2011-2016. AS I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY WORSE. THE DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE HAS GOTTEN LONGER.
