went to make a left turn across traffic at an intersection, started to go then let off the accelerator when i saw another car come from behind a vehicle and speed around it. but then i realized i was in the way of the on coming traffic so i pushed the accelerator down hard complete my left turn and get out of the way of on coming traffic. when i did this the truck didn't go anywhere for a couple seconds, then it went. it seemed to have a delayed lag to the acceleration. i made my turn without having an accident, but the car traveling the other direction did have to slow way down and honk their horn. i have read that this is a common problem with these trucks and now i know first hand how bad it is. i do feel like this could be an issue with safety if a vehicle can not get out of the way of on coming traffic if the accelerator goes "dead" for a few seconds.

while traveling in a congested traffic area, i wanted to change lanes and when i pressed on the accelerator pedal there was no response for 2 to 3 seconds leaving me stranded in between lanes and i was almost hit from behind! this has happened several times.

tire pressure monitoring system & firestone transforce ht 275/70r18 tires i have had numerous problems with my tire pressure monitoring system and tires. my testing is finding a tire pressure variance of up to 15 psi between hot and cold pressures. originally my truck would give me a tpm warning message with 3 psi variance. now it has been reprogrammed by chrysler so it requires a 15 psi variance. this concerns me as such a pressure variance places my rear tires at 94 psi. i am very concerned that these tires will break down and we will see a repeat of the 1980's firestone tire problems.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

there is about a 1 full second delay from the moment you press the accelerator and the moment the truck accelerates. i have read it is just something you get used to and i have tried. i realized how dangerous it really is while visiting my in-laws last month. the street leaving their community exits on to a 45 mph road where the intersection is on a blind curb and overgrown. several times during my visit i would press the accelerator and during the full second delay, a car would come into my line of sight. i would immediately have to go into evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision. while overgrown blind intersections aren't the norm, they do exit and the delay in acceleration endangers occupants in my vehicle as well as other drivers.
