NHTSA Complaint #11221839 — 2015 RAM 1500

THIS VEHICLE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH AN EMISSIONS RECALL FOR ITS 3.0 LITER ECODIESEL ENGINE. AN AEM 'FLASH' WAS DONE TO THE ECM MODULE, AND AFTER THAT WAS PERFORMED (AS PART OF THE EMISSIONS RECALL) THE ENGINE'S ACCELERATION - PREVIOUSLY VERY RESPONSIVE - IS DANGEROUSLY LACKING. THERE IS A 2-4 SECOND HESITATION AND TERRIBLE RESPONSE AND TURBO-LAG, AND I'VE VERY NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN SIMPLY TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC ACROSS ON-COMING TRAFFIC LANES. THE RESPONSE FROM A DEAD STOP IS DANGEROUSLY SLOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S GONE INTO 'LIMP' MODE - WHICH TOTALLY DISABLES THE TURBO. ALSO - EVEN WHEN MOVING - IF TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS OR MOVE OVER, THE RESPONSE IS AGONIZINGLY SLOW.
