Consumer Description

2014 RAM ECODIESEL. HAD THE EMISSIONS UPDATE DONE PER THE FCA CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REQUIREMENTS. AFTER THE UPDATE, MY TRUCK HAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TURBO/THROTTLE LAG. THIS LAG CAN LAST ANYWHERE FROM 2-5 SECONDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WAS ADVERTISED AS 29 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE UPDATE, I AM SITTING AROUND 17 MPG. I HAVE LODGED A COMPLAINT WITH FCA AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK. THIS IS NO LONGER AN EMISSIONS ISSUE, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN GUARANTEE YOU IT WILL LEAD TO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY DEATH. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY ECODIESEL. ALMOST EVERY RAM AND JEEP THAT HAD THE EMISSIONS UPDATE IS DEALING WITH THE SAME SAFETY RISKS.
