The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v294000 (air bags, electrical system, exterior lighting); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
As I picked up my new 2014 Dodge Ram 3500 6. 4 , I noticed a rattle coming from in or under the dash board . I also noticed my cruise control would not work and traction light stayed on . The rattle only occurs when I am stepping on the gas and going over rough roads , I let off the gas and the rattle stops . I took it to my dealer ( dick poe Dodge , el paso , TX. ) and they found nothing with the rattle , they fixed the other issues . They heard the rattle but said they could not pin point it , they felt it might be the throttle pedal it self , but Dodge would not let them swap it out unless they were 100% sure that was the issue . So here I am still driving with the rattle . I did offer to pay for the part and my adviser said he would not allow that only cause he was not 100% sure it would fix the issue . Understand the service dept did all they could to help me , it was Dodge that tied their hands .
When attempting to cross multiple lane divide highway while synchronizing the timing of the crossing I had to let up and then depress accelerator pedal and got no response from throttle. . . The classic dead pedal response. It can be avoided but someone unfamiliar with the vehicle can geet seriously hurt/killed by not understanding the dead pedal lag and those situations where it occurs. . . This must be fixed.
