2013 Ram 3500 Fuel system Problems

“The issue of the dead pedal needs to be fixed. This has left me stranded in the middle of an intersection on several occasions. This has left me on the side of the road hauling a 40 fifth wheel trailer and now today at lunch I stop at a drive through and had to park my truck there as I have a dead pedal. You give it gas and nothing happens. Google it, its a huge issue and could very easily cost someone there life.”

“Engine light came on, message said error with def system , call dealer. Then message came up and said in 200 miles truck will shut down to only 5 MPH. Took it to dealership and was told this is an issue on these trucks. They could not get a new part for 2 weeks. I was 3rd on list and 5 more behind me. They're having to order so many that they're back logged. This problem needs fixed fast! Surely, they will do a recall.”

“The truck has what I describe as a dead pedal . I was merging into traffic and let off the throttle in an evasive maneuver, but realized I need to accelerate quickly to avoid being hit. I pushed to accelerator to the floor, and there was a 2-3 second delay before the engine began accelerating. I avoided being hit only due to evasive steering. This situation is very dangerous. I have verified this condition in a controlled situation, and can replicate the problem each and every time.”

“On dec. 15, 2014 I received a recall on my 2013 dodge Ram 2500 diesel. The recall was for a inline fuel heater that may catch fire, it had no apparent fix, no parts, no instructions and no timeline as to when it would or could be fixed. I called the dealership and spoke to the service manager about my concerns, he told me that it was a remote possibility next to none, that the vehicle would catch fire. I asked him if I could park it inside and he said yes, and that the recall was just being sent out as a precaution. …”

“There have been a couple times where I pulled out into traffic and got the famous dead pedal that dodge has programmed into this vehicle. There is too much torque mgmt. Or something and there are many cases, where you expect the vehicle to take off and it will sit there for 2-3 seconds before moving, therefore putting you into a dangerous position. We need this fixed before someone is killed. In the forums, there are many, many that have the same issue with the same vehicles - 2013-2014 vehicles with cummins 6.7l diesel.”
