NHTSA Complaint #11235334 — 2015 RAM 1500

MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL RECENTLY RECEIVED THE V08 RECALL. TWO WEEKS AFTER THE RECALL THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON JULY 01. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP UNTIL 07-19. I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME FROM THE SHOP AND DID NOT NOTICE EXTREME LAG AT THAT TIME. THE. I GOT I TO THE TRUCK AT THE DEALER THE TRUCK HAD BEEN IDLING AND WAS ALMOST TO OPERATION TEMPERATURE OF 200' FAHRENHEIT. THE NEXT MORNING UPON FIRST START UP I DROVE THE TRUCK AND WAS IMMEDIATELY ALMOST IN A ACCIDENT AS WHEN THE TRUCK WAS COLD WITH TEMPS BELOW 150' THERE WAS AN ALMOST 5 SECOND LAG FROM THEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND THE TRUCK WOULD ACCELERATE. THE TRUCK HAS SEVERE LAG UPON ACCELERATION AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE RELIABLY UNTIL THE TRUCK HAS WARMED UP TO ALMOST 200' WHICH TAKES ALMOST 15 MIN. THE DEALER HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG BUT HAS NO WAY OF FIXING THE PROBLEM AS THE TRUCK IS NOT PRODUCING CODES TO AID IN DIAGNOSTICS. IN MY OPINION THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY FIAT CHRYSLER.
