Consumer Description
FROM DAY 1 THE TRUCK HAS HAD VERY POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE BIG PROBLEM IS ON TAKE OFF. THE TRUCK HAS A DEAD PEDAL WITH A DELAY OF 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE. THIS CAN MAKE FOR SOME DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IN LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A HUGE NUMBER OF OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. IT SEEMS CHRYSLERS RESPONSE HAS BEEN TO IGNORE THE COMPLAINTS AND NOT LOOK INTO A SOLUTION
