MY POST AEM EMISSIONS RECALL/RAM DEALER COMPUTER REPROGRAMING HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED VEHICLE WITH UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION LAG AND IMPAIRED ENGINE RESPONSE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 44K MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY FROM MANUFACTURER SPECS. THE VEHICLE BECAME IMPAIRED AFTER THE EPA/DOJ FORCED RECALL FOR EMISSIONS CONTROL TAMPERING. THIS UPDATE HAS PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IS SEVERAL SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS SIGNIFICANT/SEVER POWER OR RESPONSIVENESS. PULLING OUT INTO/ON CROSS STREET INTERSECTIONS OR FROM BUSINESSES ENTRY/DRIVEWAYS INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS LITTLE TO NO POWER OR GAS PEDAL RESPONSIVENESS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-4 SECONDS UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY AND VERY RAPIDLY, TO THE POINT OF SPINNING THE TIRES. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OR ACCELERATION LAG SITUATION HAPPENS SPORADICALLY AT INDISCRIMINATE TIMES, WITH NO PREDICTABLE PATTERN TO IT. IT SEEMS TO BE MORE PREVALENT UPON INITIAL START UP ENGINE TEMPERATURES, BUT ALSO CONTINUES AT SOMEWHAT LESS FREQUENT INTERVALS AFTER REACHING NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IN A PARKING LOT WITH PEDESTRIANS OR TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING QUICKLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS FCA IS CLAIMING THIS IS NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS AND THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
