Consumer Description

WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY INTERSECTION YOU PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN AND THE VEHICLE STUMBLES OR COMPLETELY DOESN'T REACT. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE INVOLVED IN A SIDE COLLISION BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET POWER TO CROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAY ITS A COMMON THING THAT HAPPENS AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX. THEY ARE CALLING IT ""DEAD PEDAL"" RAM HAS TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE HEARD A EGR DELETE AND TUNE WILL FIX THE ISSUE. EGR DELETE IS ILLEGAL IN MY STATE AND I DO NOT WANT TO MODIFY MY VEHICLE FROM FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND RAM NEEDS TO MAKE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE.
