Recall for water pump failure, contacted dealership several times, no parts available to fix still at this time, safety issue for fire risk

- Litchfield, MI, USA

I recently received a notice of recall on my truck, regarding the potential for the water pump to fail, causing an engine compartment fire. However, there is currently no fix for the problem. I am very concerned because, not only do I drive it every day to work, it is our traveling truck and we use it to haul our large 5th wheel trailer. The potential for an engine compartment fire to occur while driving, or while we're hauling the trailer, is quite scary. A fix for this issue needs to be determined quickly.

T51 recall says there is a 1% chance my Ram 2500 2016 could have a engine compartment fire and dealer said there is nothing they can do. I asked to get a rental till this is solved and was denied by dealer. They also could not tell me when replacement parts are available.

I feel I my complain is on par with so many others with a newer Ram diesel. The dead pedal. I have nearly been hit more than 5 times now on several....several occasions due to no immediate acceleration at a light crossing an intersection, or going on the highway, switching lanes and trying to accelerate again. The delay in throttle response is the worst I have ever seen in a vehicle. My wife refuse to drive my "new" truck with our kids for this reason. I had my local dealer check it out and they said its normal to have such a bad delay, even said "Dodge dropped the ball on this one". I have had friends and family comment on how bad the delay/lag is! I am very disheartened by this to the point that I am now pricing out a 2017 F-350. We are purchasing a new toy hauler and in no way would I hook it to my 2016 Ram diesel due to the throttle delay/lag. This is my 4th Dodge truck and to switch brands has been a major issue for me. I test drove a new Ford F-250 (to be fair) and a F-350 dually and the take-off was insanely different. Shame on you Dodge for forcing me into this decision, but my family's safety is more important than brand loyalty. I hope this resonates with someone in a high enough position to actually do something about this, and not let me complaint just fall the wayside.

Dead throttle response. There is a serious lag in the throttle when, starting from a dead start, or when you back off on the throttle and then press the accelerator. There is a definite dead spot, and very dangerous while in traffic. The truck has been like this since new

Dead accelerator pedal. If driving with steady pedal and let up on accelerator pedal and then step back on the accurate, the truck doesn't move/no response for 5-10 seconds, then the truck speeds off. Happens numerous times. Also if at a stop and need to have full power to get across a 4 lane highway/or make a rapid left turn, you are a sitting duck because the pedal doesn't respond.

Ram dropped the ball with the throttle delay (dead pedal) from a stop or slow speed! 3 month old truck, now in nearly 2 accidents just trying to merge onto highway due to throttle delay while my wife and 4 kids were in the truck. 100% disappointed - fix or lemon law my vehicle.

This is a big safety concern. My 2016 Ram has major throttle delay. It becomes a safety concern when I'm pulling out into traffic, let off the accelerator and get back on it and it waits 1.5 to 2 seconds before the computer receives the command to give throttle. I have had one instance where I was proceeding to change lanes on the interstate and give it throttle but it didn't respond and then I was a sitting duck because my brand new truck didn't want to wake up and go. This is a known problem that is very well complained about by many Ram owners and it's only a matter of time before this will get someone either hurt or killed as a result.

Factory integrated trailer brake controller is unable to safety stop a 10,000 lb trailer. Have tried multiple different trailers with this truck and same results. Truck cannot safety stop the truck and trailer combination safely, the trailer pushes the combination through a stoplight. Even with trailer brake settings set at the max, still does not safely stop the vehicle. Have been to dealer with this issue, state the the system is working as designed and refuse to acknowledge that there is a safety issue
