2013 Ram 3500 acceleration complaints

Filed Aug 23, 2014 · Acceleration, Fuel system · 25 miles · OR

My truck has been plagued with a terrible delay in throttle response. When trying to merge into traffic there is a severe delay between imputing throttle and the truck actually accelerating. It's almost like the truck takes 3-6 seconds to realize throttle input. This has become very dangerous when attempting to merge or turn across traffic. I have taken my truck into the dealership but there is nothing available to rectify this. I am clearly not alone on this, many of us having been having lengthy discussions on the forums in hopes of a fix.

Stepped on accelerator pedal, backed off and stepped back down on pedal. Truck did not respond. Very dangerous when pulling out in front of oncoming cars. This is an ongoing condition, happens all the time if I push on the pedal too hard, the truck takes several seconds to respond.

When letting off the gas pedal 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
