2014 Ram 3500 Vehicle speed control Problems

“I have experienced a dead pedal issue since owning the truck which has caused many close calls when turning in traffic, leaving a stop sign and passing. There is a several second delay before I get acceleration and the truck gets going. It has caused me to be very nervous when driving especially with family in the truck with me.”

“As I picked up my new 2014 dodge Ram 3500 6.4 , I noticed a rattle coming from in or under the dash board . I also noticed my cruise control would not work and traction light stayed on . The rattle only occurs when I am stepping on the gas and going over rough roads , I let off the gas and the rattle stops .

I have had several near accidents when I was attempting to turn left in front of oncoming traffic, and the truck does not respond to full throttle. One time is was so bad, I thought the truck stalled, and turned on my 4 way flashers...”

“Safety recall r36 / NHTSA 15v-459. My truck has had the recall done and still has the exact same issues the recall was supposed to correct. I am not confident the dealer actually did the work properly or at all. My steering wheel mounted controls work intermittently and the horn rarely works but when it does it usually comes on and stays blowing until they ignition is turned off. This is a major safety concern involving the cruise control, horn, and airbag system. The only answer I get from my dealer is the recall has been done, you'll need to pay for the work . …”
