Received a recall to install aem computer update. Since the update I have been experiencing acceleration delays from a stop there is a 3-5 sec delay in acceleration. This is a safety hazard trying to merge I had to pull to the side of the road a # of times to avoid a rear end accident. In addition my gas mileage has also been decreased from an average of 18-20 mpg down to 14-16 mpg. This problem after the aem update must be correct quickly as driving the vehicle has become dangerous.

I had the aem (approved emissions modification) done on my 2016 Ram 1500 3.0 ecodiesel on 07/02/2019. When I picked up the truck I asked if there were any issues with anyone that has had this performed. I was told by the tech he has not aware of any issues with this being done and the only thing he has heard is an improvement of mpg. Well I have had the truck for 2 days now and I've noticed a decrease of almost 2 mpg which I kind of expected unlike his claim of improved mpg. My complaint is that now when taking off from a stop it takes almost 7 seconds for throttle response. This is a major safety issue in my opinion! I have been driving this truck for almost 3 years now and have never had single problem. I understand the whole turbo diesel has a little bit of lag time for the turbo to spool up but now it takes almost 7 seconds to get response of throttle!! I have almost been hit 3 times now when taking off from a stop. This in my opinion is unacceptable!!! like I said before I understand there is lag in a turbo diesel but 7 seconds! when you push the accelerator and the vehicle doesnt respond that is a huge safety concern to me. I wish I had never had this performed now because I have been thoroughly impressed with this vehicle in every aspect until now. I feel that owners should be at least given some type of heads up to this situation because before long this is going to start causing people to wreck. When you drive a vehicle you get used to the way it drives. This has completely changed how this truck responds and not in a good way. Its like a whole different vehicle now. I am very concerned about this!

After receiving the emissions recall update V08 on my Ram ecodiesel it now has a lag when pressing the gas pedal that has nearly resulted in me being hit by other drivers because the truck will not accelerate properly. This is most noticeable when at a stop and making a left hand turn.

Purchase new at dealer, problem with forward movements after full stop. Take to dealer and was told to wait, transmission would learn. No improvements, take to dealer again, they redo software and advice to drive minimum 700 miles. No improvements after 3000 miles. Went back to dealer, drove with transmission mechanic and was told that some Ram's have a problem and they are working on new software.decide to wait for fix. With almost 31,000 miles take to dealer again. Transmission was checked ( 9 days at dealer shop ). final result, transmission down shifting between 2-1 there is jerk feeling ( normal ). I demanded that dealer put on worksheet invoice that transmission is pushing truck forward after full stop ! dealer do not put this on invoice. I have a forward movement after stop ( like somebody rear ended me, get bumped to ) and not complaining about hard downshifting. Time to time, this forward movement is very "strong" and in rush hours driving close to other cars I can really hit car front of me. At each stopping, is very unpleasant filling. Must applied more pressure at brakes at each time making stop. Owned lots of cars in my life and never have one which did similar problems even after hundreds thousands miles.

Around 2-3 thousand RPM my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 tradesman with 23,000 miles get this horrible vibration that seems to originate from the transmission area of the vehicle. This vibration feels like it could be the driveshaft or transmission. Doesn't matter how fast I'm going, as soon as I let off the gas and the truck begins to downshift I start feeling the vibration once I press the gas to accelerate again it's feels like the whole bottom of the truck is vibrating brought the gas pedal as if I'm riding on a rumble strip. I literally have to almost floor it for the vibration to go away.

Sometime when switch transmission control to reverse and drive and park it seems to go into neutral and will roll back or forward I have to turn the knob back and forth a few time then seems to go into place not sure if that has anything to do with that recall for rollaway or not nhtsa17V821000. I've been setting my enrage ever time I park due to worry about that. And I am stationary when this happens.usually parking or when I try to leave from being parked or also when trying to to from drive to reverse. Other than that truck seems to run and drive properly.

Total engine failure. Chrysler in process of replacing engine that was repaired at 1oi miles for the same problem. Transmission has stuck in either 3rd or 5th gear and would not downshift or upshift - second time the transmission has done this. Have a video proving shifting faults. In both instances, the vehicle was either idling or in motion for the engine failures and was in motion in both instances when with the transmission failure. Several dealer recalls have been made on the vehicle that did not involve either of the above. Window clips have been replaced for driver side front window several times because they either break or come off and have to be repaired with new clips each time. If they are not replaced, there is a risk that the window will crash inside the door if attempt is made to roll down or roll up the power window. Vehicle is currently in the dealership shop for engine replacement; documentation is not yet available for this instance but can be provided when it becomes available.

Transmission shifting knob periodically will not allow vehicle to obtain a gear and moving the vehicle is impossible until multiple attempts to engage a forward or reverse gear is successful. This has occurred a number of time and the last time I was making a U turn on a narrow dirt road when in the middle of the road I could not obtain any gear. Another vehicle approached at a high rate of speed and fortunately was able to stop before a collision occurred. Note. This problem did not occur until a recall 'auto park functionality'was completed on 11/29/18

I have a 2016 Ram 1500, crew cab, 4X4 with 20K miles. I bought it brand new and have it serviced at the dealership I bought it from. For about the past 4 weeks, I have noticed a hard downshift when approaching a stop light or stop sign in my 2016 Ram 1500. I have brought it in to my purchasing Chrysler dealership and this is what they have been told. 'fca engineering is aware of a 2nd-1st downshift bump concern and is gathering information on the shifting concern. For now, they have deemed this shift as an operating characteristic.' To have a vehicle 3 years old and 20K miles, and saying I have to accept this transmission issue is unacceptable. If this is how it is going to be, fca will not be getting any more of my business.

After putting truck into reverse then putting in back into forward gear the truck will not recognize the fact it is suppose to go forward. Not in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. This has happened to us twice. I have found out you have to actually turn the truck off and then restart. First time I had to do this a couple of times this last time it then went into forward drive with the 4 wheel drive setting. The first time was in a parking lot. The second time I was on a road in front of our home. I had stopped to check the mail and had to back up in order to go into our driveway. After backing up it would not go forward.
