This is about my dead pedal when letting of the accelerator to merge ect there is like a 2 to 3 second delay in power. i have almost been hit several times. i do not trust the truck. seems like a accident waiting to happen.
Very slow to respond throttle pedal, its to a point of not safe to pullout in traffic or merge onto a highway. there is 2-4 seconds of idle while pedal is to the floor, then the engine will start to increase rpm at a slow rate of speed. also the transmission will seem to be in neutral at times when turning into an elevated parking lot or driveway. apply more throttle and clunks back into gear then will continue to move forward. at times coming to a stop, the transmission will stay in a higher gear or the lockup converter is staying locked up. trying to stop with typical brake pedal pressure will not stop the truck when this is happening. you really need to apply pedal pressure until it completely stops rolling then it seems to reset or go back to normal. ram dealers claim its characteristics of the truck and they say that ram star says its normal. a little research online and you will find this to be a major issue. i am looking into lemon law or getting an attorney. $60k truck and its unsafe to drive. completely unsatisfied with my purchase
Later dodge trucks seem to have a built in design flaw wherein torque management programming is preventing the truck from taking off normally, creating seconds of delayed throttle response and very dangerous cross traffic issues commonly referred to on many dodge forums as the dead pedal. repeated efforts with dealer failed although they recognized the issue.

I have a 2017 ram 3500 with an aisin transmission. the throttle lag in this truck is very dangerous. i really have to be careful when crossing roads or pulling into traffic because the truck hesitates 2-5 seconds after i press on the throttle. this is a very dangerous situation and must be looked into. i have found many, many other people complaining of this problem and how serious it is. ram will not do anything about it. please look into before someone is killed, if they havent been already.
