Default Hemi Ram has gas pedal problem too!

Well my Hemi Ram has a sticking gas pedal too. Often when driving along my gas pedal slams to the floor pulling my foot right along with it. This results in wild acceleration accompanied by a totally uncontrollable smile. The pedal seems to be actually *encouraging* full acceleration from the foot- it’s insidious folks. Now I have tried everything in my power to stop this from happening but rarely get more than a few miles down the road before this phenomenon inexorably occurs. It appears to get much worse at green lights when there are Mustangs or Titans next to me. So let’s not get too smug about the Tundra’s gas pedal problem, looks like it’s just a matter of time before ours are recalled for the same thing!

The sound of the exhaust causes my gas pedal to stick all the time as well, especially with the Challenger.

Toyota just released a bulletin cautioning Tundra owners against cross dressing! High heels can break off, jamming the accelerator.

Get it with the 3.21s and you get the opposite problem. Worried that you'll get dusted by that VW rabbit off the line. I had an '08 Titan before the '09 Ram and it WAS quicker.

Sometimes I feel like Dodge left the gate open and about 60 of my horses wandered off.
