This vehicle has a 3.0 eco diesel engine. Chrysler had a recall to update this engine which i had them do. Ever since the update there has been a long pause after pushing on the accelerator till the engine speeds up. This often times results in a dangerous situation when pulling out to merge into traffic. We live near a busy round about and when pushing on the gas to enter, nothing happens so you push down more,…

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.

When depressing the accelerator pedal from a dead stop the vehicle has an extremely slow response time. After a few seconds the vehicle lurches forward and accelerates. This was not an issue until after the emissions recall was conducted on the vehicle. This is a clear safety issue as the vehicle will not accelerate properly with the engine coolant under 150 degrees f. After the temp reaches 150 degrees f the issue…

Since the approved firmware modification per mdl no. 2777 (n.d. Cal.) the vehicle has extreme delay in acceleration. Multiple times this lag has slowed me in the path of moving traffic and is a safety concern. I do not pull into traffic unsafely but the lack of throttle response has created an unsafe vehicle. It is not predictable and almost seems to cut throttle at random times.often once the vehicle does respond…
