Egr has a problem. Which may cause a fire and mopar doesn't have a fix for it. They don't know when they will. I want to trade it for a gas powered instead of the diesel and they will not take it on trade. If they would they won't give me any where close to what the pickup would be valued. It seems that the problem is their problem and they should not penalize their own customers. It is really not safe to drive it if it has the symptoms it has as to fire. It is a on going problem as they didn't tell me when I purchased the vehicle. Sounds like boeing"?"

When the engine is cold, acceleration from a stop is almost non existent for roughly 3-4 seconds. Pulling out in to normal traffic is dangerous as the vehicle does not perform anywhere near the way it does once warmed up. My servicing dealer and Chrysler corporate told me that there is a issue with excessive emissions from my 2017 Ram 1500 ecodiesel when cold which required them to inhibit fuel flow to the engine until the engine reached a temperature of 157 degrees. This is a serious safety concern as the truck seems to ignore the drivers desire to accelerate. I've come close to being rear-ended on more than one occasion because the truck would not accelerate at more than what seems to be an idol for several seconds. I've owned this truck for about 1.5 years and still there is no solution to correct this problem. It is my hope that federal action will spur a solution to this problem.

My truck has a manufacturing date of 11/17 and only has 37K miles on the truck. Randomly my truck went into a "limp mode" and a check engine light for electronic throttle control service light came on. I was driving down university drive in huntsville, al at roughly 45mph accelerating up a small incline. The 'limp mode' is extremely unsafe and restricts the ability to accelerate or drive at a normal pace. Had this happened on the highway or pulling out (what would normally be safe) into traffic and my ability to accelerate was effected it could have caused serious safety concerns. I take my 13-week old daughter to and from daycare in this truck and it has become unsafe. When taken to the dealer, they originally notated that it was just a software update. I late get a call that the egr cooler had gone out, but would not be covered under warranty. The service advisor told me they had 6 other ecodiesel vehicles in for the same issue in the last week. I called the dealer I bought it from and they had one in the shop in for the same exact problem. I then started doing research and found that the egr cooler is a huge issue for these trucks and fca refuses to address it. I called the fca and they eventually agreed to replace the truck on 'good will' after I paid a deductible. Fca needs to put a recall on these vehicles and fix the egr issues. Now there are reports that the valves are sticking and causing the egr to cause a fire. Purchasing dealer: University cdjr in rome, ga servicing dealer: Landers mclarty cdjr in huntsville,

When the vehicle is cold the engine has a significant power lag and 'dead pedal' when you accelerate from a stop. It creates a significant risk as there is no power to accelerate and avoid oncoming cars or dangerous situations. Oven when pedal is all the way depressed the vehicle fails to accelerate.

After ECM reflash, now the vehicle will not accelerate for 3 seconds with engine cold. No power until delay time has passed then itll accel. Once engine is at operating temp it drives normally. This only started since the latest ECM and tcm reflashes were performed.

Truck still under warenty has less than 13,000 miles. 7 different times car won't start. Have had to get it towed to dealership 3-4 times. Each time it's repaired a different electrical computer code is stated as the problem. This has happened in parking lots, our driveway and at a light (car would not go)! very dangerous. Started to happen 3 months after we bought the truck. Happens every 30-60 days.

- Crystal Bay, NV, USA

Concern #1: intermittently, upon initial start up, the engine makes a loud clattering noise as if it has no oil in it. The dealership was able to duplicate the concern once but it is not bad enough to repair. Concern #2: while coming to a slow rolling stop (as if coming to a known stop sign) there is a hard bang/clunk just before getting to a complete stop, it feels like you are being hit in the rear by another car. As you slowly accelerate it bangs/clunks again hard. The bang can be felt and heard, and only happens on slow stops, not when you have to stop quickly. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for the third time regarding this same concern. The dealership reprogrammed the transmission and a transmission valve body was replaced but it has not fixed the concern. This bang is so bad that it is hard that I fear driving it in stop and go traffic.

Multiple episodes of vehicle codes disabling truck, all related to 'service electronic throttle control' message. This has caused loss off power with vehicle stalling on mountain highway, major safety issue. Other times vehicle has scary delay in throttle response causing nerve wracking moments trying to merge or operate vehicle safely. Vehicle purchased new, problems began with only 1500 miles on vehicle. Four times to dealer for service hasn't resolved issue.
