While towing a travel trailer, accelerator was applied to allow me to pass some slow semi's. There was no response from the accelerator as I held it down for about 10 seconds. Exhaust brake engaged!! it wasnt even on!! however, I had the cruise control on but not engaged. I quickly engaged the resume feature and used the accelerate function of the cruise control to speed up to avoid an accident. This has happened on multiple occasions but this by far the scariest. Also the exhaust brake engages when not even on at random coasting times when not hauling anything. It is very dangerous to not be able to control a big truck due to these glitches. Also two of these firestone tires have worn bald at 18000 miles. Accelerator has no response when a quick stop and go transition is applied.
Turnig left onto dixie hwy from a parking lot and hit the gas pedal and it took about two seconds for the truck to move, its happened many time in the few mile that I have .
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving at 68 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact also mentioned that the def warning light illuminated and chimes sounded throughout the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the def injectors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 9,775 and the current mileage was 9,820.
When accelerating then letting off accelerator for a brief moment then trying to re-accelerate there is no response / dead pedal delay for 2 seconds then the truck will accelerate. Very dangerous in traffic situations. Dealer is aware of problem and can duplicate all the time. No solution at this time.
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.
When pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor in order to make an emergency manouver, there is an incredible lag before the turbo spools.
When starting to leave a stop sign after accelerating somewhat foot slipped off of accelerator. When I stepped om accelerator again there was a substantial lag (3 or more seconds) until the accelerator began to work again. When I reported same to local dealer I was told that this was how is was designed to work. Problem as I see I am pulling out into faster moving traffic and my foot slips off pedal, now I am already engaged in pulling out but my accelerator no longer works, this creates a safety hazard for me and whatever vehicle I am in front of. Solution is to decrease substantially or totally eliminate this lag. Traffic. Dealer said this was a complaint they have heard before but so far there was no solution. I am driving a 2500 series pickup that weighs over 7000 lbs. So I can be a serious threat to someone that runs up on me due to the fact that I can not accelerate.
