In order to register my vehicle in California I was forced to accept the V08 emissions recall. After this recall, I have noticed substantial lag between depressing the accelerator and between when the vehicle accelerates. I was told there would be no change in performance by both the dealer and fca. I have almost been in two accidents now because I attempted to execute a left turn and even though I was depressing the accelerator, the vehicle sluggishly rolled through the intersection and then 2-3 seconds later, accelerated rapidly making it difficult to maintain lane integrity while navigating the turn. I generally drive fairly modestly which is why there have been only two life-threatening incidents in the past 3 or so months that I have had the "update". realistically though, this forced update has changed the nature of the truck and made it ultimately more dangerous to drive. All of this behavior began after the noted recall. I spoke with the dealership where the recall was performed, and was told that they have received this complaint from other drivers as well, and that while Ram was aware of the problem, they had no remedy at this time. The date mentioned in the report is simply of the most recent of incidents that I mentioned.

After complying with the V08 (aem) software update due to the Ram ecodiesel emissions update my driving experience/performance has changed dramatically. During acceleration their has been anywhere from 3-6 delay seconds before adequate power and speed can be felt. This is at a full stop such as a stop sin or red traffic light. During highway traffic (passing) or merging into a lane is were is most noticeable. This failure occurs even when engine is properly at operating temperature and is worse right after start up. Since multiple people use their trucks for towing purposes, this greatly increases the effect and even further decreases the performance that is relied upon. The aem software update specifically states "the aem is not expected to change any of your key vehicle attributes, such as average fuel economy, reliability, durability, vehicle performance, drivability, engine noise or vibration, or other driving characteristics." This directly contradicts the class action lawsuit remedy requirements. Due to the failed instant acceleration as well as taking up to 3500 RPM before forward movement can be established in some instances has led me to formally create and record a safety concern that requires immediate attention. Failure to do so puts owners of 2014-2016 Ram 1500's that are affected by the aem update at risk, not only to ourselves but to the other drivers around us. Before this update was conducted there were no engine/transmission/propulsion related issues whatsoever. Lastly as another effect but less important is the obvious decrease in and loss in mpg. Please hold fca accountable and have them address this issue before lives are fatally affected.

This vehicle has a 3.0 eco diesel engine. Chrysler had a recall to update this engine which I had them do. Ever since the update there has been a long pause after pushing on the accelerator till the engine speeds up. This often times results in a dangerous situation when pulling out to merge into traffic. We live near a busy round about and when pushing on the gas to enter, nothing happens so you push down more, then all at once it takes off like a bullet and you hope you don't hit somebody. I have taken it back to the dealer more than once and they say they can't do anything to correct it. I have called the recall number at Ram and didn't get anywhere there either. The dealer said they get a lot of complaints about this but there is no fix. This is a dangerous situation.

While driving with cruise control on and I have to hit the brake to kick the cruise control off.sometimes when I push the button to kick it back on it will not go back on, so I turn the cruise off and back on it will not work until I stop and turn the truck off and start it back up before the cruise control will reset

- Gardendale, AL, USA

Cruise control will not activate until the button is pressed 6 or 7 times, taking your attention from the road to the display to see if it turns

After an emissions update was made to my vehicle without my permission on June 4, 2019, the throttle is unresponsive, the diesel exhaust regenertion system no longer functions and my fue economy has dropped over 10 mpg. It is out-of-service and undriveable. It has been at the dealership 4 times over the last 4 months, and has been there since August 1, 2019. I am being told there is no fix.

1. on 9/20 I received from fca dealer the recall update agreed to upon settlement with the epa. 2. while driving on 9/21 I was at a stop and needed to changed lanes. 3. when I depressed the accelerator the engine stalled and barely moved the vehicle for a couple of seconds before picking up and moving normally. 4. had another vehicle been on coming it could have created a potentially serious accident on a major road at a major intersection. 5. I hereby exert that the "fix" for the emissions by fca is now creating dangerous driving conditions for "owners" who have received this this recall "fix" 6. additionally it appears fuel mileage is also dropping about 5%-10% 7. researching on the internet I am finding that this is a common problem. 8. sometimes the cruise control functions sometimes it does not, I have repeatedly taken the vehicle in for this complaint but they say they cannot find any issue. 9. I would suggest that nhsta get vehicles before and after the "fix" and do substantial testing, as it is not 100% of the time and issue and may be hard to replicate. 10. overall performance of the vehicle seems to be affected - lower performance and less torque 11.if fuel mileage is down and performance is down I would suspect that emissions may actually be worse than prior to the "fix" being implemented.

After having the approved emissions modification installed my truck became dangerously sluggish from a dead stop. After pressing accelerator pedal pulling into traffic truck is moving approx. 4 mph where there is a 3 to 4 second delay in acceleration leaving me vulnerable to oncoming traffic. Truck was fine before aem. Dealer now says they can not reverse aem. Truck is now a serious traffic hazard.

After the new update that was forced on the eco diesels owners, I have had problems with accelerating after starting up and taking off. We have almost been in an accident due to this lag in acceleration. It gets a little better as it warms up but not much better. This is very dangerous when trying to get out in an intersection or get to the flow of traffic. One time I was pulling out into an intersection and I had the peddle to the floor and nothing, if I was further back on the hill I'd probably would have gone backwards. Still happens.

- Waterloo, IA, USA

Since getting the Ram eco diesel mandatory recall / re flash. I have experienced a "dead pedal." It's not as bad in warmer weather but now we are starting to experience colder mornings and winter is right around the corner. The drive-ability of the vehicle is unsafe and unsettling. I am worried about my family now.

- Reno, NV, USA

Had the recall V08 done and now my truck lags power and takes forever to accelerate when turning into traffic. It seems to be worse when it is colder. It also has lost power when I'm towing. I'm scared to drive it with my family in it.

- Four Seasons, MO, USA

After aem emission control systems update the truck at 57,920 has poor acceleration from a start. It doesn't get out of its on way. Mileage dropped 4 mpg. Has poor acceleration up hills. This update claimed to not alter the way the vehicle drives and that is not the case. This is not the truck that I originally bought. I have been almost hit several times pulling out into traffic because of the poor acceleration from a stop "turbo lag" this is a safety hazard.

- Port Deposit, MD, USA

I had my vehicle in to the dealer for an oil change and was told there were some recalls. Long story short is the "recall" was a software update to fix emissions issues. After the recall work the engine performance in dangerously bad. There is a delay in acceleration that is going to get someone killed. I don't drive my truck very hard so I didn't notice it at first, but I went to make a left handed turn at a light and was almost hit because my truck didn't perfrom and it had in the past. The literature I was given after the "recall" work was done say "the aem is not expected to change any of your key vehicle attributes, such as reliability, drivability, vehichle performance etc." False. Again someone is going to get this done and be in an acident when their truck does perform as it did in the past. I now drive this like its a gutless wonder but somone else might not be as lucky. I reported this to chrystler and had it in the the dealer and was told it was "working as intended". dangerous.

- Muscle Shoals, AL, USA

After fca completed the emissions recall on my 2016 Ram the truck now does not want to accelerate into traffic. This is caused several issues when trying to merge into traffic or onto the interstate. Also while pulling a trailer I was not able to accelerate properly into traffic or to the highway. Due to this while pulling out in traffic I have barely avoided several wrecks.
