NHTSA Complaint #11229481 — 2016 RAM 1500

I HAD THE AEM (APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION) DONE ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 3.0 ECODIESEL ON 07/02/2019. WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH ANYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH HE HAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THIS BEING DONE AND THE ONLY THING HE HAS HEARD IS AN IMPROVEMENT OF MPG. WELL I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND I'VE NOTICED A DECREASE OF ALMOST 2 MPG WHICH I KIND OF EXPECTED UNLIKE HIS CLAIM OF IMPROVED MPG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS FOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD SINGLE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE TURBO DIESEL HAS A LITTLE BIT OF LAG TIME FOR THE TURBO TO SPOOL UP BUT NOW IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS TO GET RESPONSE OF THROTTLE!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THIS IN MY OPINION IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! LIKE I SAID BEFORE I UNDERSTAND THERE IS LAG IN A TURBO DIESEL BUT 7 SECONDS! WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DOESNT RESPOND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. I WISH I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PERFORMED NOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS VEHICLE IN EVERY ASPECT UNTIL NOW. I FEEL THAT OWNERS SHOULD BE AT LEAST GIVEN SOME TYPE OF HEADS UP TO THIS SITUATION BECAUSE BEFORE LONG THIS IS GOING TO START CAUSING PEOPLE TO WRECK. WHEN YOU DRIVE A VEHICLE YOU GET USED TO THE WAY IT DRIVES. THIS HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THIS TRUCK RESPONDS AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. ITS LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT VEHICLE NOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS!
