When I'm accelerating and have to get off the throttle and back on quickly there's a serious pause, I almost got rear ended because I had no throttle response for a few seconds. This happened to me several times since may, it is very bad when pulling my rv. Please ask Chrysler to look into it. Thanks

When driving this vehicle there is a very strong smell of diesel in the cab and coming from the ventilation system when stopping. The fuming is very strong and extremely worrying. I have been sickened during these fuming events. The smell is not unlike charcoal lighter fluid vaporizing but not igniting. I believe that these fumes are deleterious to health and pose a serious danger to public safety. The common unqualified wisdom is that it is a 'regeneration process' taking place, but it does seem to be a dumping of raw fuel and this is vaporizing into the ventilation system, the only things that helps a little is to turn off the A/C off, and switch of the fresh air, use the recirculating air system, open windows. This is the only thing that can be done when you cannot stop the truck and get out for fresh air. My research found many reported cases of this. It seems to be a concern among many Dodge (Chrysler) Ram owners. The manufacturer will not admit there is an issue and the dealers hold fast that its not a problem and is 'normal'. whatever this is, it is not 'normal'. the suggestion of just using 'recirculated air' is a nonsense. This must not be allowed to go on, someone is going to get seriously injured, or themselves and someone else killed from this gassing issue. This issue should be subject to a redesign and a recall on these affected trucks. Irrespective of the processes taking place under the hood, higher egt's, regeneration mode etc. These processes should not affect the health and wellbeing of the vehicle operator. I am imploring the ODI to investigate these issues and reported cases, Dodge must respond to ODI and they must be made to resolve these issues to the satisfaction of the ODI and owners alike. Chrysler and the Dodge Ram marque are responsible and liable for their products and faulty engineering..
