When letting off the gas petal and then pressing again, (like merging or a rolling stop) there is a lag of 1-2 seconds. Very dangerous when pulling out in traffic. Ram says that is normal. This need to be investigated. Thanks.
Our new 2013 ram truck (six weeks) has an electrical short to ground in the drivers door lock switch and module (part # 68110866aa & 68155771af) that are locking the doors by themselves. Dealer assures me that there is "zero" chance of a fire occurring even though there is an electrical short. This must be a common problem, as the parts to fix the issue are on national back order and no estimate of a fix is available. I do not believe there is a zero chance of a fire with an electrical short and have not been parking the vehicle in our garage until this is fixed. This may be something that needs to be looked into with an electrical short occurring.

Had been noticing a shimmy in the front suspension area. The steering wheel would have a very slight vibration after hitting bumps in the road when driving 35mph or greater. This issue has continued for months with several visit to dealership who has been unable to properly identify the problem. The problem has now become a "death wobble" that will shake steering wheel violently and almost shake the entire truck off the road, there have been several more attempt to address the issue with no resolve. Truck is unable to keep alignment, camber and caster is continually off/out of line, and has worn tires unevenly. Have also been experiencing intermittent electrical issues with dash lights flickering, radio lights turning off, electric windows not rolling up or down properly and reverse lights not turning on when engaged.
