Description of the problem | 3. 0l gen 3 ecodiesel engine has excessive lag and delay in throttle response. While traveling at steady speed in lower gears 3rd, 4th, or 5th and then depressing accelerator pedal to increase speed, engine will not respond until three to four seconds have elapsed. This creates a significant hazard when attempting to merge into traffic or cross traffic during a left turn. Prior experience with multiple gasoline and diesel turbo-charged vehicles has not presented this issue to me. The 2020 ram 1500 ecodiesel has a magnitude of turbo lag and unresponsive throttle that is quite dangerous. |
