MY 2014 RAM DIESEL HAS WHAT PEOPLE CALL THROTTLE LAG. MINE IS MORE SEVERE THAN THE OTHER SAFETY COMPLAINTS FILED. MY TRUCK SOMETIMES WILL DIE WHEN THE THROTTLE IS SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED THEN YOU COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK IS IDLING, AFTER A FEW SECONDS YOU CAN DRIVE OFF WITH THE ENGINE MISSING, THEN WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON IT WILL RUN FINE FOR A WHILE. IT HAS SET AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING INTO THE FOURTH WEEK. THIS IS THE FIFTH DODGE 2500 DIESEL I HAVE OWNED, WITH NO PROBLEMS ON THE OTHERS. *TR

1. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 4 SEPT 2014 BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY CLEARED THE CODE AND GAVE ME THE TRUCK BACK BECAUSE THE CODE DID NOT RETURN WHILE IT WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION. 2. THIS SAME ISSURE HAS OCCURED 4 MORE TIMES SINCE THAT DATE AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BE RESOLVED, EACH TIME THEY DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT, IE REPLACED A DOSING UNIT, REPLACED THE NOX SENSOR AND NOW AS OF 15 OCT 2014 ARE PREPARING TO REPLACE THE ECM OR BRAINS OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE MORE THAN IN MY POSSESSION FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM SINCE 5 SEPT 2014. 3. VEHICLE HAS VIBRATION BETWEEN 60 TO 80 MPH, HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE DAY I PURCHASED AND ALSO MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER THAT, AND PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY RAM. 3 TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NOW THE...

A DEAD THROTTLE PEDAL OCCURS AT TWO DIFFERENT INSTANCES. ONE, WHEN FROM A DEAD STOP PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL PRESS BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OR CHANGE RPM FOR A SECOND, THEN THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE. TWO, WHEN TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE, OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL EXHIBIT THE SAME DEAD PEDAL RESPONSE FOR A MOMENT THEN ACCELERATE. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME. IT IS A CONCERN THAT MUST BE FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NEEDED TO CHANGE LANES AND SPEED UP. A VEHICLE WAS TO MY RIGHT AND INFRONT OF ME. I HAD TO LET OFF THE THROTTLE FOR A SECOND TO LET THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME PASS. AS I PRESSED THE THROTTLE TO ACCELERATE AND PASS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS AT LEAST A TWO SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES FROM A STOP WHEN TRYING TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC. OTHER TIMES WHILE MOVING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND THEN PRESSED AGAIN WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE WORST ACCELERATION AND TAKE OFF I HAVE EVER NOTICED. IF I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF SOMETHING, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TOO. IF NOT FIXED THIS WILL DEFIANTLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CAN'T EVEN PULL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND GET UP TO THE SAME SPEED AS OTHER TRAFFIC. WHEN I GOT IN MY WRECK IN JUNE I WAS TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE WHO WAS DRIVING SLOW AND I COULD NOT GET AROUND THEM QUICK ENOUGH AND THEY CUT ME OFF CAUSING OUR VEHICLE TO COLLIDE. *TR

I OWN A 2014 RAM 2500 CREW CAB WITH A CUMMINS DIESEL MOTOR WITH <5000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A RAM DEALER ON 5.28.14. ON 8/24 I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE AND THE RPMS IMMEDIATELY CLIMBED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN. I WAS NOT PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR WHATSOEVER. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DO AND STRAINED THE BRAKES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I LET OFF THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED AGAIN COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN. WITHIN 7 OR 8 SECOND THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 50 MPH AND WAS ACCELERATING AT FULL SPEED--COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO STOP. WHILE STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL LUNGING FORWARD AS THE RPMS REMAINED HIGH.WHEN I LEFT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE...

2014 RAM 2500 4X4 CUMMINS DIESEL 68RFE AUTO TRANS. SIGNIFICANT LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN ACTUATING THE PEDAL. 2+- SECONDS OF NO RESPONSE BEFORE TRUCK STARTS ACCELERATING. COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN CITY DRIVING OR MERGING SITUATIONS. *TR

EITHER GOING FROM A DEAD STOP OR WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND APPLYING THE PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED, THE ENGINE "STALLS" FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RE-GAINS IT NORMAL SPEED. PULLING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING ME TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND FALL BACK IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS. ENGINE STALLS WHEN NOT TOWING AND WHEN TOWING. MANY CLOSE CALLS FROM BEING HIT DUE TO TRUCK SLOWING DOWN. I VIEW THIS AS OTHERS DO ~ DEAD PEDAL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT THE DEALER FAILS TO UNDERSTAND OR DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU. A FEW MORE TRIPS TO THE DEALER WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I AM GOING TO GO WITH THE "LEMON LAW." *TR

THIS IS REGARDING THE 6.7L CUMMINS ENGINE. THROTTLE LAG FROM A DEAD STOP SUCH AS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSSING A ROAD IS DANGEROUS. THIS LAG COULD VERY WELL CAUSE ME TO GET REAR ENDED OR BROAD SIDED. THERE IS ALSO VERY SIGNIFICANT LAG AFTER THE GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN RELEASED AND THEN PRESSED ONCE AGAIN. AN EXAMPLE IS WHEN SLOWING DOWN WHEN APPROACHING A SLOWER CAR AND THEN CHANGING LANES AND PRESSING AND ACCELERATING TO GO AROUND THE VEHICLE. *JS
