2014 Ram 1500 Cruise Control Problems

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle went into LIMP Mode, and the check engine warning light and the throttle control warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with turbocharger failure. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal Failure, error code C2200--49. This ABS failure also takes out the following safety features, anti-lock braking, traction control, trailer towing brake controller, and cruise control. As a result I do not have these safety features, and I tow a 10,000 lb rated trailer that required that the OEM factory brake controller works. A new module is $1200 plus, however there are NONE to be found. It has been on National Back Order for several years, and affects many year models. Failure at first was intermittent and worked during cold weather, but once up to 70 degrees or above it failed consistently, then finally failed permanently. l Intermittent Failure was real risk when towing, as you could not depend on system working in case of emergency.

The ABS, Traction Control, Trailer Breaking lights are on also impacting Adaptive Cruise Control making them all inoperable, even though the truck is still able to be drive, albeit unsafely. I took it to my local repair shop and was told the ABS Controle Module, part number 68228991AD was identified as bad and in need of replacing at approximately $2000 and that the part is on indefinite backorder. I tried to locate the part on my own and there is in fact a nationwide backorder. After further investigation, I found multiple owners on Ram forums either having or have had the same problems. On one parts website, I found this message regarding the part: PART ON HOLD UNTIL ENGINEERING REVIEW IS COMPLETE, EXP - MAR 20TH, 2025. Located at: [XXX] This is not just an issue with 2014 Ram trucks, but extends to other model years using the same part number. This is a huge safety issue that should be addressed through a recall and the NHTSB has the power to right this wrong. Stellantis is doing what large corporations do and protecting their bottom line at the expense of putting customers' safety at risk. We are the little guys with limited financial means and power, to go up against a large corporation to get them to act and do what is right. Please advise soonest.

The vehicle has a fault in the ABS system that is causing the ABS light to stay on, as well as the traction control light and the Brake light. This means the brakes will lock up, causing the vehicle to slide, the vehicle has no assisted traction control, and the cruise control will not engage. In a vehicle like this (a pick-up truck) the back end is notoriously light and will easily loose traction during emergency braking and without traction control, can easily lose control on wet roads. The part needed to repair this issue, the ABS Module, is unavailable anywhere...and has been for years now. Some can still be found in old junk vehicles, or for sale out of used vehicles, but these have no guarantee and are no safer or less susceptible to failure than the stock product. No to mention they can only be found at exorbitant prices since they are in such high demand on an obviously sub-par part. Why does this part have so many issues and why is it impossible to fix? The vehicle is unsafe without this fix! The tires absolutely slide on wet roads now with loss of steering control and the rear end easily breaks free of traction on wet roads! The vehicle also will not pass inspection anymore because of this issue. This has been a problem for a year at this point.,

ABS BRAKE WARNING Light came on and others warning lights. Error Code C220-49 Anti-Lock Brake Module Internal Failure-Electronic. Also lost cruise control, traction control, trailer brake controller and anti-lock brakes. Parts are on Nationwide BACK Order due to the massive failure rate. Safety Issue especially when towing and using OEM trailer brake control.

Driving on the interstate without cruise control on at 70 mph. I had a vehicle passing in the fast lane and a vehicle in front of me slowing down so I applied a little pressure to my brake peddle and my truck automatically began to accelerate on its own. I kept pushing on the brake peddle and it was stuck in a acceleration. The brakes tried slowing it down but it would not stop acceleration once I took my foot of the brake peddle it just rapidly began to pick up speed on its own again! I ended up pushing down on the break peddle long enough to turn off the engine and coast off to the side on the interstate. I was so glad it happened while I was driving it and not my wife she could of wrecked into the back of the vehicle in front of us and caused a multiple car crash! The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) light came on while I was pushing down on the brakes to try stopping the truck, but once I turned the engine off and back on again the (ETC) did not come back on although the brake lights stayed on for about 10 miles.

My ABS module and TCS light has been on for several years. I have taken it to the dealer multiple time to have it repaired, only to be told it is on back order. This has been going on for over two years. I have a life time warranty through Chrysler as long as I own the truck. Since the warning lights have been on I have had many instances where my truck has lost control and slipped on the highway most of the time in rain. I have also had my truck lock up once, when a person made a right turn into my lane in front of me, forcing me to hit the breaks. My truck skid through the intersection and almost rear ended the vehicle. I avoid traveling with my family in the truck now.

My ABS light has been on and when I took my vehicle to the dealership, they said it requires a part that is on back order for almost a year already. My vehicle suddenly comes out of drive while I’m on the road. It’s scary because one minute I’m going 50 miles an hour and then it just turns off. Other times the car does not register my foot on the break when trying to get it out of park to start it. The Dodge dealership says all of these things are related to a bad ABS module which I have been waiting for since December, and they have no idea when the part will be available. I have been on mini Dutch forums and I see that this is an issue across the country

Despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter, I've faced obstacles and a lack of clarity from Dodge Corporation. Recently, my 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie experienced a sudden ABS light issue, affecting traction and cruise control. This has made driving perilous in Texas's hazardous conditions. We've been quoted $2000 (part itself is $1300) for repairs, but the required part is on backorder, with no ETA provided by Dodge Corporate. This situation poses a significant safety risk to my family, yet we're unable to proceed due to part unavailability and a lack of transparency. I request urgent assistance or guidance on resolving this matter. Question #1- The ABS module in the 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie has failed, affecting the ABS system, traction control, and cruise control. The specific part number is 68228991AD. The failed component, the ABS module, should be available for inspection upon request. Question #2- The failure of the ABS module has compromised the functionality of the ABS system, which is crucial for maintaining stability and control on slippery roads, especially in hazardous conditions. This puts the safety of the driver, passengers, and others on the road at risk, particularly in situations where ABS is necessary to prevent accidents. Question #3- Yes, the problem has been confirmed by a mechanic, and the necessary repairs have been identified. The mechanic determined that the issue lies with the ABS module. Question #4- The vehicle and the ABS component have been inspected by a mechanic, revealing that the issue lies with the ABS module. However, neither the police nor insurance representatives have inspected the vehicle in relation to this matter. Question #5- Yes, the ABS light on the dashboard appeared as a warning sign of the problem with the ABS system. This occurred suddenly and without prior indication of an issue until the warning light illuminated.

The Abs, Traction Control and Brake lights are on. None of the affected systems are working at this time. The vehicle was tested by Chrysler Ram in Peotone, Illinois. they said that the Abs control module was bad and could not be ordered at this time because it is still in product development at FCA.

This whole vehicle has several recalls, looking at what the recalls stated, those are all safety issues that could occur at any moment. The engine has failed in said vehicle. The issues at hand have been confirmed by a registered mechanic. He was unable to locate any engine for this vehicle and it was taken to a dealership, in which they will not fix. Also, have been in touch with Stillantis, however, after giving them time to respond after the initial conversation, to find out they never took down our information. Another issue is they lied and said the dealership said it was fine. The problem is that was a definite lie. They did not know where or what dealership. This vehicle was made and sold to be reliable but, it is not. There are recalls and there have been class action lawsuits but, no one is willing to help with something that was not to be sold in the first place.

When accelerating, gas pedal is sticking to the floor, and continues to accelerate on its own, at high rate of speed

I filed a complaint on 7/4/2022, complaint number 11472254. Since then, I have done some research and found out that there have been MANY FAILURES OF THE ABS MODUALS on RAM trucks. I have attempted to buy a new one, but there are none. I called dealerships around the United States, and many have some in stock but can't sell them (won't sell them). And if I try and order from a local dealership, the part has a 6-month lead time. I have asked why the has not been a recall and I have been told it's not a safety issue and that traction control is a nice to have option. While looking at a new dodge Ram, I noticed that traction control and antilock brakes are listed under SAFETY (please see attached). If this is a SAFETY issue, why hasn't there been a RECALL issued?

2014 RAM 1500 IN MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING AND MAINTAINING SPEED RIMS SURGE AND TRUCK FEELS LIKE IT STUMBLES OVER ITSELF AND VIBRATES BEFORE SETTLING IN SET GEAR ITS A CONSTANT ISSUE NOW STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO NOTICEABLY I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR OVER 3 YEARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: UNKNOWN ( ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE REVVED UP AND CRASHED INTO A UNKNOWN TOYOTA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 60 MPH SIDE SWIPED A UNKNOWN SUV, CRASHED INTO A POLE AND STOPPED BETWEEN A HOUSE AND WALL THE CHECK ENGINE AND TIRE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AN INDEPENDENT AUTO BODY SHOP. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,700. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED HIS PET DOG SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES. *DT*JB

WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE RAM WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND DID NOT GO PAST 15 MPH. THE RAM DID NOT TURN ON ANY LIGHT TO NOTIFY ME OF AN ISSUE. I HAD TO FORCEFULLY TAKE IT OUT OF LIMP MODE THEREFORE RISKING THE TRANSMISSION TO GET DAMAGED. THERE WAS A BIG TRUCK BEHIND ME MAKING A LEFT WHO THANKFULLY NOTICED THE RAM STOPPED WORKING AND PATIENTLY WAITED FOR ME TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE A RECALL ISSUE ON RAMS AS I HAVE BEEN READING THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.

HAD AEM FLASH CAUSED 10-15% MPG LOSS AS WELL AS THROTTLE LAG,LOSS OF ACCELERATION FCA SAID THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE OR MPG

THE TRUCK HAS AN EXAUST LEAK. IT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD. THE BOLT BROKE FOR SOME REASON AND IS A BIG COMMON ISSUE IN THESE TRUCKS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE BOLTS USED WASNT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITH STAND PRESSURE AND CORROSION. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO NO LONGER WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD. IT WILL GO INTO CRUISE CONTROL VERY RARELY AND WHEN IT DOES IT'S HARD TO GET IT OUT. I HAVE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF MOST OF THE TIME TO GET IT OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL MODE. THE LIGHTS THAT LUMINATE THE PRESS BUTTONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL FLICKER RANDOMLY. SO IT TELLS ME IT MUST BE A WIRING ISSUE OF SOME SORT. I'VE CONTACTED A DODGE DEALER SHIP AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AS THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I'M AFRAID WITH THE EXAUST LEAK THE EXTRA HEAT IN THE ENGINE BAY MAY RESULT IN MELTED WIRES OR EVEN WORSE A FIRE. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONED TO MAKE A TURN AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND SURGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VIN WAS ASSOCIATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V757000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER PUEBLO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 2147 US 50 WEST, PUEBLO, CO 81008, (719) 545-6666, AND WHERE THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND DID NOT RELEASE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE'S SPEED TO INCREASE TO APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE CONTACT DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE FAILURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

AFTER HAVING THE AEM UPDATE COMPLETED, I LOST 5MPG IN FUEL ECONOMY (FROM 23 MPG COMBINED, TO 18 MPG COMBINED), I ALSO AM EXPERIENCING AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION LAG (4-6 SECONDS). WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC TRAVELLING AT 40+MPH, THIS LAG IN ACCELERATION CAUSES ME TO ROLL INTO TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER OR ABILITY TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE ENGINE DECIDES TO KICK IN.THIS LAG IN ACCELERATION IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN AS THE DURATION OF LAG IS INCONSISTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND AM NOT CONFIDENT IN IT'S PERFORMANCE ANYMORE. I, LIKE MANY OTHER OWNERS WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF THIS TRUCK. I THINK FCA SHOULD TAKE BAKE THE TRUCK BECUASE IT HAS BECOME A FINANCIAL/SAFETY NIGHTMARE. AS OF JANUARY 2019, I HAVE SPENT OVER $7000 ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM PRIOR TO THE AEM UPDATE COMING OUT (EGR COOLER CLOGGED, TURBO HOSES BAD, ETC.) LUCKLIY, I JUST HAD THE EGR COOLER REPLACED UNDER THE NEW WARRANTY BUT THE DRIVABILITY (GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND POWER) IS NO LONGER PRESENT. IF THIS TRUCK FUNCTIONED LIKE THIS WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE IT, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS UP HILLS AND INCLINES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE SERVICE ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHIELDS AUTO CENTER (225 S MEYERS ST, RANTOUL, IL, (217) 892-2155) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,115. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONALITIES IS NOT WORKING WITH 100 PERCENT CONSISTENCIES. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET ACTIVE, IT CANNOT BE DEACTIVATED OR CANCEL, THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE THE ACTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS BY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE TO CANCEL OR DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHAT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL CAN NOT BE DISENGAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND BECAME STUCK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH FORCE IN ORDER FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO BE RELEASED. THE CONTACT INFORMED CROWN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM GREENSBORO (3710 W WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407, (336) 790-9850) OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

IN MAY I BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO MY LOCAL RAM DEALERSHIP FOR A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THE ECODIESEL ENGINE SYSTEM AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT WITH THE EPA. THE TRUCK RECEIVED BATCH OF NEW SOFTWARE THAT SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE SAFELY FROM A STOP. THERE IS CURRENTLY A 2-4 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN MY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, AND RECEIVING A RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THIS HAS LED TO NEAR MISSES, AS THE DELAY ISN'T ALWAYS PREDICTABLE. IT IS WORSE STARTING FROM A STOP HEADING UPHILL. THIS DELAY IS WHOLLY A PART OF THE RECALL INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE IN MAY. IT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF DELAY PRIOR TO THE SERVICE. THE VEHICLE ALSO SUFFERS FROM DELAYED RESPONSE WHILE MOVING, BUT THIS IS A SECOND OR TWO, AND CAN BE PREDICTED AND ACCOUNTED FOR. THE DELAY FROM START IS ABYSMAL, AND UNSAFE. MY LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, HAVE BEEN PLACED AT RISK DUE TO FCA'S INABILITY TO MEET EMISSION REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFE OPERATION OF MY VEHICLE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUES, AND THE ECODIESELS ARE BRINGING EXTREMELY LOW TRADE-IN VALUE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE IF IT DROVE THE WAY IT IS TODAY.

ACCELERATION/ CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE: I HAD THE VEHICLE'S CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT (70 MPH) ON THE INTERSTATE. I ACCELERATED TO AVOID A BOTTLENECK IN AN AREA WHERE 3 LANES MERGED INTO TWO. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I PUMPED THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES TO REDUCE THE SPEED, BUT I COULD NOT RESUME ACCELERATION BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL LOCKED TO THE FLOOR. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, MANUALLY LIFTED THE PEDAL AND TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON. A DISPLAY MESSAGE STATED: SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL; BUT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO OPERATE FINE. I HAD THIS EVENT HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. ONCE WAS IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO, THE OTHER I REPLICATED IT ON MY OWN. I CONTACTED THE RAM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER, THEY ADVISED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. IF IT IS DUE TO A RECALL IT WILL BE FIXED FOR FREE, OTHERWISE THE DIAGNOSIS COSTS AND REPAIR WILL BE ON ME. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAD SEVERAL RECALLS FIXED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2018. THIS ISSUE HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN THE PAST UNTIL IT WAS SERVICED FOR THOSE RECALLS. I HAD AN INDIVIDUAL AT AUTOZONE ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD THE TROUBLE CODES; NO CODES WERE FOUND. I'VE READ FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT DEALER(S) WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE DURING DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES.

CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN DEPRESSED AND WHEN IT DOES THE CANCEL SWITCH DOES NOT DISENGAGE. TOLD THE SCCM AND SPEED CONTROL SWITCH IS RUSTING AND THERE IS S HIGH VOLTAGE RESISTANCE ISSUE BETWEEN THE TWO CONNECTIONS. ALSO THAT THIS COULD DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WITHOUT A COLLISION

WHEN ACCELERATING AROUND SLOWER CAR MY ACCELERATOR STUCK AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I TURNED OFF ENGINE.

DRIVER HEADING DOWN HILL USED THE + AND - INDICATORS TO MANUALLY PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO 3RD GEAR. GOING APPROXIMATELY 60/70 MPH HEARD THE TRANSMISSION SLIP INTO 2ND GEAR AND THE RPM'S BEGAN TO INCREASE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE MANUAL BREAKING OF THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER TOOK THE NEXT EXIT PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHEN A TRANSMISSION SENSOR FLASHED. STILL WITH NO GAS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE DRIVER WHO WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK OFF THE EXIT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN TURNING BACK ON ENGINE CONTINUED THROTTLE AS IF IN FULL ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TOWED TO VISTA AUTOGROUP IN SILVERTHORNE, CO. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FINDING A FAULTY ACCELERATION PEDAL SENSOR.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY CAME UPON ANOTHER VEHICLE DOING 40MPH DECIDE TO PASS THIS DRIVER. AS I PASSED THE DRIVER AT ABOUT 60MPH WHEN I LET UP ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN AND EXCELERATED TO 95 MPH I WAS ON THE BRAKE TO TRY AND SLOW THE VEHICLE AND AFTER ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS THE GAS PEDAL RETURNED TO THE NORMAL POSITION AND VEHICLE THEN SLOWED DOWN. A LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND ACCORDING TO THE USER GUIDE THE LIGHT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT. IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IT STATES THAT "YOU MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCED PERFORMANCE, AN ELEVATED/ROUGH IDLE" IT SEEMS THAT RAM ALREADY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ELEVATED IDLE THE BOOK JUST DOESNT STATE THAT THE ELEVATED IDLE CAN INCREASE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN OR IN DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. AS A RESULT, THE REAR BUMPER STRUCK A CONCRETE WALL IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ABRA BODY SHOP IN FOREST LAKE, MN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

ON WAY HOME GAS PEDAL STUCK 3 TIMES, HAD TO STAND ON BRAKES MOVE TO SHOULDER, AND PUT INTO PARK , ENGINE REV HIGH AND TURN OFF.VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST HAD A COLLISON, 3RD TIME ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON.

VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AS I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO GET UP TO SPEED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE REVVED VERY FAST BUT THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AFTER ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED AND LET THE ENGINE IDLE DOWN AND NURSE THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE TRUCK UP TO SPEED AND BACK ON HIGHWAY. IF GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED HARD OR QUICKLY IT SEEMS ENGINE POWER IS NOT GOING TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY ON ITS OWN BEFORE I HAD TIME TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED AS I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS ONLINE WITH DODGE RAM TRUCKS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED SLOWLY AND PARTIALLY THE TRUCK WILL PICK UP SPEED.

HI, (TO CHRYSLER) THE FACTS: 1.- MY TRUCK SUFFER OF A DELAY WHEN YOU TRY TO START MOVING, FROM THE MOMENT THAT YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE MOMENT THAT THE TRUCK RESPOND AND START MOVING. I CAN SAY IS ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS DELAY 2.- THE DELAY CAUSED THIS WEEK TO BE ALMOST ROLLED OVER FOR INCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN YOU ARE AT THE VERY CONGESTED INTERSECTION AND YOU NEED TO GET IN TO THE INCOMING TRAFFIC FAST THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS TRUCK 3.- THE TRUCK DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS WHEN IT IS LACKING OF POWER, YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL FOR ABOUT ONE INCH AN IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. 4.- AGAIN WHEN YOU NEED TO CHANGE LANES OR YOU NEED TO ADVANCE IN A HILL IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL YOU NEED TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR THE TRUCK TO RESPOND AND WHEN IT HAPPENS IT CHANGES TO A LOWER GEAR IN SUCH WAY THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING ACCELERATION IT IS DECELERATING INSTEAD. 5.- WHEN YOU NEED TO START MOVING THE TRUCK SLOWLY TO APPROACH SOME HING IT WILL NOT DO THAT IT WILL JUMP AND AT THAT POINT YOU ARE CLOSE TO CRASH IT ON THE THING THAT YOU ARE APPROACHING 6.-I GAVE YOU 2 MONTHS TRYING TO BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE TRUCK BEHAVIOR, BUT WHAT I FOUND IS THAT I CAN MANUALLY CHANGE THE GEARS AND MAKE THE TRUCK TO RESPOND AS A NORMAL VEHICLE, CHANGING GEARS GRADUALLY WHEN IT IS LOSING POWER IF I CAN MAKE THE TRUCK TO CHANGE GEARS WITH OUT JUMPING 4 GEARS DOWN WHY YOUR COMPUTER IS NOT CAPABLE OF DO IT? I BELIEVE THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I PRETTY SURE THAT THE TRUCK CAN HAVE COMPUTER ISSUES, OR THE GAS PEDAL TRANSMITTER OR THE GAS ACTUATOR HAVE ISSUES, OR THE COMPUTER PROGRAM IS NOT WORKING AS A PLANNED, OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES I NEED YOUR HELP SOLVING THESE ISSUES THANK YOU VERY MUCH

WE WERE DRIVING OUR NEW TRUCK (ONLY 13 DAYS OLD) AND CAME UP BEHIND A CAR GOING 25MPH IN A 50MPH ZONE. WE SLOWLY ACCELERATED THE TRUCK TO PASS THE VEHICLE. DURING THIS ACCELERATION, WE SAW LARGE AMOUNTS OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH TAILPIPES. THEN A BRIEF SINGLE CHIME STARTED FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. BECAUSE IT WAS A NEW TRUCK WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. WE CONTINUED UP THE ROAD AND THE CHIMING INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND WHITE SMOKE BEGAN TO COME INTO THE CAB AND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE CAME TO SIDE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. WE GOT OUT AND THE WHITE SMOKE CONTINUED TO BELLOW FROM UNDER HOOD. AFTER TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF, THE SMOKE SLOWLY SUBSIDED. WE TOWED THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER ON A FLATBED. *TR
