Due to the ecodiesel settlement program, i allowed fca to update the ecm to meet their requirements for the settlement. After the update, my truck is dangerously slow from a standing start. I never know if the truck will accelerate as i merge into traffic. Sometime it is barely adequate but most of the time there is a 2 to 4 second delay before the turbo kicks in (around 2,000 rpm) and then there is a strong turbo…

I had the emissions recall/repair for the ecodiesel engines per the class action lawsuit between the epa and fca. Fca claims that it would not effect power or gas mileage. My truck now has a significant lag from a stop as well as from 10 mph to about 20mph when one hits the gas and tries to accelerate. This decrease in power makes this vehicle dangerous especially when trying to pull on to a street that has oncoming…

After completing the emissions recall on my eco diesel truck i have lost all starting power. It feels like i have lost turbo and take roughly 2-3 sec to accelerate from a stop. I have tried flooring it and still no take off; it slowly accelerates into traffic before it finally goes. So far i have been lucky enough to not be hit by oncoming traffic.

Ecodiesel-post epa required repairs- turbo lag / delayed acceleration. Up to a two second time delay before vehicle will proceed upon full throttle demand to merge into traffic or from a stop sign or needing to pass a vehicle at highway speeds.. The delay will cause an accident to occur. Prior to the epa repairs, vehicle did not have any turbo lag/acceleration issues. One could accelerate with full, partial or…

My vehicle has tremendous lag when trying to accelerate, but it is not all the time. I never know when pulling out into a road at a left hand turn if i am going to get throttle response or a dead petal. Too many times not i have been stuck with tremendous lag and almost rear ended by vehicles while turning onto a road. This was never an issue until a forced "fix" for a recall on the ecodiesel engine. Upon initial…
