Consumer Description
I HAD RECALL V08 AND SOME OTHER RECALLS PERFORMED AT LOCAL RAM DEALER, THE EMISSIONS MODIFICATION HAS LEFT MY TRUCK VERY SLUGGISH (THROTTLE UNRESPONSIVE) WHEN ENGINE IS COLD. TWICE SINCE COMPUTER WAS FLASHED I HAVE PULLED OUT TO CROSS TRAFFIC AND TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS IT DID PRIOR TO FLASH. I WAS TOLD THE FLASH WOULD NOT CHANGE PERFORMANCE AND MILEAGE BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I AM ALSO USING CONSIDERABLE MORE DEF FLUID. BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, I TEND TO FORGET AND PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN IT GETS QUITE SCARY, I BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENT. THIS RECALL WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AGAINST FCA, BUT THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY I WAS OFFERED DOES NOT HELP ME IF I'M HURT OR KILLED DRIVING THE TRUCK.
