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.
