Poor throttle respond when doing lane change, really really poor throttle respond, especially when doing lane change the throttle supper slow respond can causing a rear end from the safe on incoming lane changed distance to unsafe distance after the lane changed, this seriously can causing the crash by the rear end from the vehicle on the back. It also happened when merge into freeway when throttle is very important for driver to adjust the speed to make vehicle merge into the traffic smoothly. Reported to dealer service manager everytime drop vehicle for servicing but CAN NOT fix the issue. This happened when the dealer upgraded new calibration for power train by other recall. But before power train upgraded my vehicle dont have this poor throttle respond issue at all.

This vehicle has a safety recall I. The high pressure fuel pump. The dealership says they’re unable to provide resolution due to part’s availability. Reasonable time has been allowed and yet, no repairs have been made. The manufacturer should be required to buy back the vehicle or replace it at no cost to me.

11/30/2022 ODI #11495480.0

We have this truck at our dealership and are unable to sell do to this recall. Recall has been out since November 12th 2012 and through Nhtsa it shows that it can be completed. I've talked with Ram recall assistance and they state that this truck is not able to have the recall completed and I asked for a buy back and they said I need to talk with my local dealer to start that process. I called our local dealer and they said they have never heard of that and are unable to help. They did say they have the part in stock to complete the recall however Ram will not release it to the 2019's and they can only do the 2020's recall which is the same thing.

went to start and nothing, battery is OK has a quick flash of fuel filter service. and still have 35% left according to the truck. I am guessing it is the fuel pump issue awaiting what the dealership states it has only 36000 miles so its still under warranty.
