Consumer Description

TODAY I HAD A CLOSE CALL. CRUISING EMPTY, NOT TOWING, SOMEONE PULLED OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY. GOT ON THE BRAKES. HAD A GOOD OPENING IN THE NEXT LANE. PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND STARTED SHIFTING LANES. THE TRUCK WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, NOT EVEN A LITTLE. AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE 2-3 SECONDS IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE, AND BY THEN THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS GETTING VERY CLOSE TO MY REAR BUMPER. I DIDN'T PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE. ANYWAY, I'M GOING TO THE DODGE DEALER AND HAVING A FORMAL NOTE PUT INTO MY FILE ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HAVE HAD THE TRUCK 2 WEEKS. NOT HAPPY AND THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A NORMAL UNFIXED ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS, BUT SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. *TR
