sometimes when I first start the truck and drive off, I find out that I have no throttle response at all. No smoke or abnormal noises, just a dead pedal. Then after I stop the truck and take off again it works perfectly normal. I've heard of others having this problem but haven't heard of a fix. I also can't duplicate the problem; it has only happened a couple times. I did check for any codes which I did not have any.

Firstly, I have contacted Ram about the issue and they said I can't do anything about it. It's a safety feature and it absolutely is the total OPPOSITE of a safety feature! When on icy roads, with traction control off, and in four-wheel drive, if the truck starts sliding, it cuts the power to the wheels when I need power to pull out of the slide. I've been driving in icy / snowy conditions since I was 14 years old and I'm now [XXX] . Since it cut power to the wheels, the truck continued to slide off into the ditch causing major front end damage. If there had been a person walking their dog there, they would have been killed. This happened at about 15 mph and was totally preventable if I had had control of the vehicle instead of a computer! I don't even understand what the traction control button being turned off actually does because apparently it doesn't do anything. Also, I about got thrown through the windshield when the automatic brakes came on thinking I was going to rear-end som
