“This vehicle has the worst acceleration and take off I have ever noticed. If I had to get out of the way of something, I would not be able too. If not fixed this will defiantly cause an accident. I can't even pull out onto the highway and get up to the same speed as other traffic. When I got in my wreck in june I was trying to pass someone who was driving slow and I could not get around them quick enough and they cut me off causing our vehicle to collide.”
NHTSA complaint #10627954, filed 2014-08, 2,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10605723, filed 2014-06, 940 miles“When I start from a dead stop or when pulling out in traffic and have to let off the accelerator and then immediately accelerate again. The engine will stall almost to the point that the truck stops. It has stalled to the point that on coming traffic has had to stop or hit me. I have taken it to the dealership, they kept it several days. And they said the engineers at chrysler said nothing is wrong with it. But the service tech rode around town with me wanting to see what was going on. It done it every time, he told me that he had never seen or heard of that. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747152, filed 2015-08, 3,000 miles“While towing a travel trailer, accelerator was applied to allow me to pass some slow semi's. There was no response from the accelerator as I held it down for about 10 seconds. Exhaust brake engaged!! It wasnt even on!! However, I had the cruise control on but not engaged. I quickly engaged the resume feature and used the accelerate function of the cruise control to speed up to avoid an accident. This has happened on multiple occasions but this by far the scariest. Also the exhaust brake engages when not even on at random coasting times when not hauling anything. …”
NHTSA complaint #10690501, filed 2015-02, 13,000 miles“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. …”
