Ram ecodiesel recall. My post aem emissions flash has created a significantly impaired vehicle with unpredicatable acccelleration and engine response. I am the original owner and the vehicle became imparied after the epa/doj forced recall for emmissions control tampering. This update has put my family is several seriously dangerous situations. Merging onto highway traffic the truck has no power or responsiveness. Pulling out of side streets across traffic the truck has no power or responsiveness. The trucks mpg has gone down nearly 15% and def consuption has increased significantly. Please do something as fca is claiming there is no issue. This has nearly caused accidents on several occasions.

When depressing the accelerator pedal from a dead stop the vehicle has an extremely slow response time. After a few seconds the vehicle lurches forward and accelerates. This was not an issue until after the emissions recall was conducted on the vehicle. This is a clear safety issue as the vehicle will not accelerate properly with the engine coolant under 150 degrees F. after the temp reaches 150 degrees F the issue seems to subside and go away.

After having the emission recall competed on my 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel I am experiencing major power loss in certain operating conditions. This condition includes reduced throttle response when accelerating from a stop after cold starting. I will start my truck and drive 2 block to a 50 mph highway. After stopping at the stop sign I will accelerate across the lanes of the highway. Since this recall there is significant lag in the throttle leading to traffic having to slow down because I'm not accelerating. I can push the throttle to the floor and there is very little RPM increase. I'm basically idling forward into 50 mph traffic without being able to accelerate. I have taken my truck to two different dealers and after consulting with fca they have come back and told me this is the new normal for my truck. The second dealer has even stated they are able to recreate the issue and after submitting their findings to fca they were told to inform me that this is normal. This limited throttle response is especially concerning given the speed of the road I live off of and the fact that fca considers this normal. This issue happens after every cold start and there is a larger lag if the air conditioner is on. This throttle lag only started occurring after the recall was performed on 5/30/2019 and had occurred regularly since.

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.

Since the approved firmware modification per mdl no. 2777 (N.D. cal.) the vehicle has extreme delay in acceleration. Multiple times this lag has slowed me in the path of moving traffic and is a safety concern. I do not pull into traffic unsafely but the lack of throttle response has created an unsafe vehicle. It is not predictable and almost seems to cut throttle at random times.often once the vehicle does respond after the delay it causes wheel spin also creating a hazardous potential in adverse weather

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.

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.

When accelerating rapidly (a heavy foot on the gas pedal) the vehicle often remains in acceleration mode once the pedal is released, and the vehicle continues to increase its velocity. Braking does not fix this issue. Twice now I've had to switch the truck to neutral, and let the computer figure out I didn't want the gas pedal anymore. This was a result of merging onto a freeway, and passing another vehicle.

My truck has just at 36,000 miles and is a 2016. At around 34,000 the cruise control has not been working properly. The on/off button doesn't always work. It doesn't seem to matter if the truck is moving or stationary. It decides when it wants to turn on or not. May go days without working, may work fine one day, and then not work again for days. It is going to the dealer today - it now has 35,966. I would hope it would be covered under the 36,000 mile warranty, but more to come. I first noticed this around April 23, 2018 when I started my new job and now drive 40 miles back and forth to work.
