2014 Ram 2500 Fuel System Diesel Vehicle Speed Control Problems

THERE IS ABOUT A 1 FULL SECOND DELAY FROM THE MOMENT YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE MOMENT THE TRUCK ACCELERATES. I HAVE READ IT IS JUST SOMETHING YOU GET USED TO AND I HAVE TRIED. I REALIZED HOW DANGEROUS IT REALLY IS WHILE VISITING MY IN-LAWS LAST MONTH. THE STREET LEAVING THEIR COMMUNITY EXITS ON TO A 45 MPH ROAD WHERE THE INTERSECTION IS ON A BLIND CURB AND OVERGROWN. SEVERAL TIMES DURING MY VISIT I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND DURING THE FULL SECOND DELAY, A CAR WOULD COME INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. I WOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE TO GO INTO EVASIVE MANEUVERS TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHILE OVERGROWN BLIND INTERSECTIONS AREN'T THE NORM, THEY DO EXIT AND THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION ENDANGERS OCCUPANTS IN MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION, STARTED TO GO THEN LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHEN I SAW ANOTHER CAR COME FROM BEHIND A VEHICLE AND SPEED AROUND IT. BUT THEN I REALIZED I WAS IN THE WAY OF THE ON COMING TRAFFIC SO I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN HARD COMPLETE MY LEFT TURN AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN I DID THIS THE TRUCK DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS, THEN IT WENT. IT SEEMED TO HAVE A DELAYED LAG TO THE ACCELERATION. I MADE MY TURN WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE CAR TRAVELING THE OTHER DIRECTION DID HAVE TO SLOW WAY DOWN AND HONK THEIR HORN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND NOW I KNOW FIRST HAND HOW BAD IT IS. I DO FEEL LIKE THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH SAFETY IF A VEHICLE CAN NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC IF THE ACCELERATOR GOES "DEAD" FOR A FEW SECONDS. *TR

WHEN STARTING TO LEAVE A STOP SIGN AFTER ACCELERATING SOMEWHAT FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF ACCELERATOR. WHEN I STEPPED ON 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 IT: 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. *TR
