NHTSA Complaint #10992652 — 2014 RAM 2500

"DEAD PEDAL" ISSUE- WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY IN TRAFFIC, AND YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MORE THAN ABOUT 70%, THE TRUCK JUST SITS THERE... LIKE THERE IS NO POWER. IT WILL EVENTUALLY (4-6 SECONDS LATER) SLOWLY INCREASE SPEED, OR IF YOU FEATHER THE PEDAL, IT WILL ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET, OR OTHER TIMES WHEN ENTERING FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE TURBO LAG, BUT RATHER SOME KIND OF PROGRAMING IN THE DRIVE TRAIN THAT KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM ACCELERATING BRISKLY WHEN PUSHING ON THE PEDAL..... THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, THE LISTED DATE IS THE LAST TIME I FELT IT. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 30-40 TIMES SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN JAN 2013. NOTE: I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DRAG RACE OR SMOKE TIRES... I AM TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU NEED TO QUICKLY PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC... DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE...
