Ram 2500 6.7 diesel. Truck has a 1-3 second delay in acceleration when releasing the accelerator pedal, and then pressing it again. This is not related to turbo-lag like others may have assumed, but rather engine management. Example: If you are driving along in town at 30 mph, come to an intersection and start to make a left turn, then decide that oncoming traffic is too close so you back off the throttle, then change your mind again and step on it to make the turn, the engine simply does not respond. If it is any consolation, I know of many people with the same issues, with model years from 2010 to present, and all with the 6.7 cummins turbo diesel engine.

Prior to epa emissions recall I would achieve diesel fuel efficiencies as high as 21 mpg highway, pulling a 18 foot trailer at a 1 hour duration. The city mpg averaged to 13-15 mpg, since the emissions recall update made on this vehicle, mpg has averaged between 10-13 mpg on highway with no load/no trailer and averages between 9-11 mpg in city. These benchmarks have been consistently compared and road conditions have been same. To add to this issue, there has been a loss of power that has caused unexpected hesitation in a number of instances. Several times I was put in harms way as crossing city divided highway, crossing streets and/or dividing highways where that multi-directional traffic lights are not always present. To further explain, realizing the power pickup was not present and turbo did not seem to be 'spun up' even though acceleration was increased dramatically. Note, to help to possibly remediate these potential accident occurrences, I must power brake and increase engine RPM's to help bring the vehicle to a power level to reduce the risk of power latency. This sometimes helps but not always because power impotency seems to be unpredictable at times.

After receiving notification from Dodge that parts were available to correct the diesel fuel heater electrical connector (recall P65/NHTSA 14V-635) my Dodge dealer (rairdon Dodge, bellingham) told me the parts for the recall were on back order from Dodge. Subsequently the check engine light came on shortly thereafter and when diagnosed the problem was with the oxygen sensor system. Once again the dealer told me that the repair parts were on back order from Dodge and they would call when the parts arrived, this was close to a month ago and in the meantime the truck has been parked and not been used. I believe that this extended period waiting for back ordered parts is excessive and needs to be rectified, especially when Dodge indicated that the parts for the recall were available.

I left the truck running, I walked about 20 feet away while doing some cleaning on my property and when I turned around I saw what looked like the ground on fire. It looked like fire dripping down from underneath the truck and in no time the truck burned to the ground. What do I need to do at this point" should I get an attorney"

While driving on the highway traffic ahead was coming to a stop because of a truck making a left hand turn I applied the brakes and the engine continued to stay at the same speed.I avoided an accident by shifting into neutral and noticed that the engine was running at 1,800 RPM.I then put the truck into drive with the brakes applied and it started to downshift the transmission very hard. This occurred several other times as I drove home. I took the truck to the dealer the next morning and had it serviced for a recall and the problem of a stuck throttle which I thought to be the problem.I was called back to pick up the truck on 1/10/2014 and immediately had the same problem later that day. I took the trick back to the dealer on 1/13/2014 and have yet to receive an answer to the problem only that they can not find a problem with it. This concerns me very much as this condition could and will in the future cause an accident, injury or death should it occur again.
