NHTSA Complaint #11257216 — 2016 RAM 1500

1. ON 9/20 I RECEIVED FROM FCA DEALER THE RECALL UPDATE AGREED TO UPON SETTLEMENT WITH THE EPA. 2. WHILE DRIVING ON 9/21 I WAS AT A STOP AND NEEDED TO CHANGED LANES. 3. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE STALLED AND BARELY MOVED THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE PICKING UP AND MOVING NORMALLY. 4. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN ON COMING IT COULD HAVE CREATED A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR ROAD AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. 5. I HEREBY EXERT THAT THE "FIX" FOR THE EMISSIONS BY FCA IS NOW CREATING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR "OWNERS" WHO HAVE RECEIVED THIS THIS RECALL "FIX" 6. ADDITIONALLY IT APPEARS FUEL MILEAGE IS ALSO DROPPING ABOUT 5%-10% 7. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. 8. SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONS SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT, I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THIS COMPLAINT BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUE. 9. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT NHSTA GET VEHICLES BEFORE AND AFTER THE "FIX" AND DO SUBSTANTIAL TESTING, AS IT IS NOT 100% OF THE TIME AND ISSUE AND MAY BE HARD TO REPLICATE. 10. OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED - LOWER PERFORMANCE AND LESS TORQUE 11.IF FUEL MILEAGE IS DOWN AND PERFORMANCE IS DOWN I WOULD SUSPECT THAT EMISSIONS MAY ACTUALLY BE WORSE THAN PRIOR TO THE "FIX" BEING IMPLEMENTED.
