After resolving recall for emmsuons on my 2015 ram 1500 ecodiesel, the throttle response is lagging. After i make a turn onto a road the truck fails to accelerate when the gas peddle is being pushed. It has about a 3-4 second leg time. It is especially bad in a 90 degree turn going through a green light onto another road. I've almost been rear ended by trafficking that was originally 150-200 feet away when i…

My vehicle is a ram ecodiesel. Fca was caught installing software to fraudulently report emissions data and was ordered by the epa to install new software to bring emissions into compliance. I got this so-called "repair" in august in so doing, my vehicle (and many others) developed an acceleration lag that is quite dangerous -- particularly when the engine is just started. You begin to pull into traffic and then the…

Ecodiesel - following recall aem (approved emissions modification) update, throttle response is extremely poor at times. When turning onto a roadway from a stop the vehicle is sometimes very slow to accelerate, risk of collision due to being unable to increase to safe speed. When trying to accelerate under this condition the vehicle will suddenly abruptly accelerate which sometimes results in wheel spin (loss of…

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…

After receiving the updated engine programming recall on my ecodiesel ram, the throttle response is dangerously slow when accelerating from a dead stop. There is a several second delay from me applying pressure to the throttle pedal and the engine reacting and accelerating. It's very difficult to judge when turning into traffic because of this delay. Could easily cause someone to be rear-ended because the truck does…

After the v08 recall the drivability of vehicle is dangerous. The fuel consumption and the lag of the engine is also a huge concern but it handles totally different. While it still seems decently reliable, for now, everyday unsureness of trying to anticipate how the vehicle will handle during driving is the primary factor.

Post aem update there is a severe lag in throttle response. After leaving the dealership/recall update i almost caused an accident due to the slow response after pressing the throttle to the floor. The truck just sat there for a few seconds before slowly moving. When trying to get up to speed to merge onto interstate, pre recall update, the truck was quick to shift and gain speed. Today it had a hard time getting up…

On 3 different times my accelerator pedal has gotten stuck and accelerating to about 90 plus mph while driving. I had to stomp on it several times to get it unstuck while riding the brake, i have read where other people have had the same problem as mine. However the dodge dealer said they have not gotten any recalls on this problem and can not do anything for me until there is a recall. So paying out my pocket to…
