It was just recently brought to my attention that there was a technical service bulletins sent out for the 3.0 ecodiesel to change the type/specification of oil and to go against what the owners manual states because the manual is wrong. It calls for an oil that is to light breaks down molecular weight too quickly and trucks and jeeps alike equiped with the ecodiesel have been having catastrophic engine failure due…

Once on the interstate going around 70 mph (had 3 passengers with me) and twice today 10/22/19 in morning traffic and almost caused me to have an accident. It took hitting the brakes several times to stop. I took it to the dealership

Since an emissions recall my truck has had a dangerous amount of dead pedal lag when. First starting to drive. The first 5-10 minutes of every drive create a dangerous situation where i am consistently worried about causing an accident because my truck does not operate like a normal vehicle, or as it did before the recall happened.

After fca completed the emissions recall on my 2016 ram the truck now does not want to accelerate into traffic. This is caused several issues when trying to merge into traffic or onto the interstate. Also while pulling a trailer i was not able to accelerate properly into traffic or to the highway. Due to this while pulling out in traffic i have barely avoided several wrecks.

Since getting the ram eco diesel mandatory recall / re flash. I have experienced a "dead pedal." it's not as bad in warmer weather but now we are starting to experience colder mornings and winter is right around the corner. The drive-ability of the vehicle is unsafe and unsettling. I am worried about my family now.

After receiving the v08 ecodiesel emissions update, the vehicle performance has suffered significantly! The acceleration delay/lag is truly a life-safety issue and will cause a life-threatening accident. In addition to the significant delays in acceleration (especially when "cold" and when merging onto traffic), the transmission shifts have been altered to be unresponsive and significantly hinder performance. The…

Truck was running fine with no issues until the emissions v08 recall. Truck now has a significant lag when accelerating from a stopped position. It typically happens when turning (pulling out from a stopped position). It has almost caused us to get in to two different accidents due to lack of acceleration. My whole family was in the car at the time. I refuse to let my children ride as passengers now because it is a…

When i am approaching a red light or stop sign, i apply pressure to the brakes. As the vehicle is coming to a stop, it sometimes lunges forward unexpectedly as if i have been rear-ended by another vehicle. The vehicle is still under warranty. I have taken it to two separate dealerships for this hazardous condition. Both times they acknowledged the problem exists. Both times they updated the computer and claimed it…
