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 .
While leaving the lot I go to accelrate and the truck slowly increases speed and then starts to move. This happens all the time and I took the truck into the dealership and they stated this is chryslers torque management system. This system has almost caused me to get into a wreck twice. I know of one friend who has gotten into a wreck. I researched this issue and sure enough there are hundreds of members on Dodge and cummins forums complaining of this issue and Chrysler will not do anything about it. Here is a link to some threads. . Read more...
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500. While driving at approximately 30 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle did not accelerate. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 400.
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.
