Got the recall, took it to my dealer and they said it's not much of a problem, and when the fix is available they would let me know. Went online and seen several of the trucks like mine have been totaled from a fire, and they burn pretty fast. The dealer stated that the fix should be available sometime in April.

I want to report a safety concern. The concern is already aware by the manufacturer but I want to address the potential risk it put our family in. The recall is known as the vb! or NHTSA # 19V-757. We bought this truck to have a nice and reliable car to Transport our 1 year old child in. Our last 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee left us stranded in the middle of the rode with our kid due to the computer telling all injectors to stay open and resulting in the motor hydro-locking itself. We took out financing to purchase and the great 2018 ecodiesel Dodge Ram. Just 2 months into owning this my wife lost all power going down the freeway. She reported mass amount of smoke coming from the hood and thank god she managed to merge over all lanes and to the best of her ability with no power got the truck off the highway by about 5 feet and then quickly turned off the motor and distanced her self from the truck. She called me in complete panic. This story would be much different if our child was strapped into the car seat on this particular drive. Since this occurrence the truck has been parked in over flow at my local dealership and continues to sit until Fiat discovers a correct repair to the cracking egr. I warn you to all your family members that you haul down the road in your ecodiesel. This is a real concern! dealership has confirmed this was a result of the VB1 recall. Their was no exterior damage to the truck as the motor was quickly shot off. The intake manifold needs to be replaced, and a new turbo is also needed. I am no sure of what other internal engine components are needed replacement.

The back up camera goes out and black outs at times. Sometimes it looks like a old tv with wavy lines. The drivers window controller, you have the ability to use auto down and auto up. At times, you must hold up on the window switch to make the window go up. The headlights come on when you enter a dark garage and when you pull out they stay on. My vehicle does not have daytime running lights. The headlights will come on during morning with full sunshine. Sometimes there is a very loud knocking coming from the motor. Sounds love like a bad valve.

Long lag between the time you step on the accelerator and the when the truck would respond. Created dangerous situation specially merging with fast moving traffic and moving from stop signs. Vehicle would go into limp mode without warning. It was deemed to a lemon and fca bought it back only to resell to someone else.

I own a 2018 ecodiesel and when my truck went in for an oil change they did an update called aem or V08 emissions update. After the update my truck no longer accelerates from a stop. It crawls at under 10mph extremely slow aprox. 90 seconds until the vehicle accelerates. This is extremely dangerous I have been in 3 near accidents due to a lack of acceleration. In addition to the lack of acceleration I now get much lower gas mileage. Prior to the update I was getting 27 mpg, now the best I have gotten was 19mpg. I feel this should be against the law, to purchase a vehicle that get good gas mileage and drives they way it did when I test drove it, which is the reason why I purchased it. Only for them to completely change my vehicle after the purchase without my permission is to me a bait and switch.

I was driving out of my drive way, and my vehicle went into park by itself. It appeared a strange message on the screen saying 'car not in drive, shift to park'. also my vehicle displayed an alert message saying 'alert: Electronic throttle control system malfunction, the vehicle onboard diagnostic system has detected a malfunction'. also another alert was displayed as 'alert: Engine system malfunction'. not only did my vehicle have these malfunctions but my heated steering wheel and seats were being used by itself. I was not in control of these panels. Last, my sensors on my Ram do not function correctly, if I am pulling up close to an object my sensors will not 'beep'. only time they go off is if I hit the objects in front of me. Last but not least, my 'check engine light' was on and the temperature gauge indicated the temperature outside was below 41 F when in fact it was 65 F.
