Consumer Description

THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF "DEAD PEDAL" BUILD INTO THE ECM TUNING ON THE 2011 AND UP CUMMINS TRUCKS WITH THE 6.7 DIESEL. TRYING TO PULL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR PASS SOMEON IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS. YOU CAN PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK JUST CUTS OUT AND GOES NOWHERE FOR UP TO 5 SECONDS COMPLETELY LOSING MOMENTUM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS COMPLAINT.
