Description of the problem | From new, the ram 1500 with the eco diesel engine has had a significant hesitation when cold creating a safety hazard. When i leave work i need to cross a multiple lane highway highway with a speed limit of 55 mph. I could walk across the highway faster then what the truck will cross it. I have the latest software update for engine control that ram is offering. I've taken it to the dealer and contacted ram customer assist about the issue. All i was offered was a few free oil changes. Both say there is nothing they can do. I did get the customer assist contact to state she would relay the message to engineering. I will select today's date below as to when this problem happened, but it does it every day it is driven. |
