I pulled over to emergency lane, turned car off , then popping sound causing truck to go into flames and popping with big explosion and burning rapidly.

After having the required fca emission update, the truck will hesitate when pulling into traffic or attempting to climb a hill until fully warmed up. Pressing the accelerator to the floor does nothing for several seconds, then the truck accelerates dramatically. This nothing/everything, is dangerous to the driver and passengers of the truck as they may be struck by another vehicle that they are not able to get out…

I can not let my window up on the driver side. When i contacted the dealer which is milton rueben they advised me that this is a common problem but it's not a recall. If one or more vehicles are having this problem then this is a manufacture's issue and should be a recall issued.

The aem recall was completed and the truck has a horrible turbo lag, which almost caused me to be in an accident twice within 15 minutes of picking it up. Dealership will not look at it and this is an unsafe vehicle for road use.

After completing the emissions recall on the eco diesel a significant lag in acceleration has occurred. This lag impacts ability to keep with the flow of traffic when merging etc. This is a safety hazard as it is unpredictable and driver cannot determine acceleration by simply pressing the pedal down - sometimes with a 5-10 second delay in response to accelerate. This can occur from a stop, and merging onto a…

The fuel mileage went from 20 mpg highway to 15 mpg highway. Have had the truck back in for service three times with no improvement. Ram is telling me that there is not anything they can do to fix the problem, because it is a government…

I recently had the emissions reflash recall for my 2015 ram 1500 ecodiesel. I was told this would not affect driveability, fuel mileage, or engine performance. Well, it has affected all. My fuel milage has dropped( used to get around 22 combined, lucky to get 20 now). The engine is lacking power and vehicle downshifts on grades where it didnt before. The turbo is also louder. I assume this is from them choking down…

Since i have lost 4-5mpg average over what i was getting before the aem was installed. The truck is overall down on power since the aem was installed. As well the truck is dangerous to drive until the coolant temp reaches at least 150 degrees f. The truck has no power when…

Fca's approved emissions modification software was installed in my truck and now it has lost its power and there is a long turbo gap which is dangerous when trying to merge into traffic. When the engine is cold the truck will hardly take off from a stop sign. I have registered a complaint with ram and the dealership. The dealership told me that is a common complaint about the update and ram has not contacted me with…

My check engine light came on while i was driving down the interstate, followed shortly by a 'service def system ' see dealer' display on the dash. I was 300+ miles from home on a business trip, so i wasn't able to get it to my dealership quickly. I called a few dealerships in the area (central michigan), but none of them were going to be able to look at it for at least 4-5 days. After driving about 50 miles or so…

Air suspension compressor went out. We live in minnesota and upon this happening i talked to the dealer and researched this issue online and it is a non stop issue. The dealer said they fix this same problem all the time but there is no recall. It is a expensive fix that dodge is not covering yet it happens all the time. Please look into this issue.
