NHTSA Complaint #11257994 — 2015 RAM 1500

FIAT CHRYSLER (FCA) RECENTLY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AFFECTING MY RAM ECODIESEL TRUCK. AFTER THAT SETTLEMENT, I WAS REQUIRED TO GET A SOFTWARE FLASH CALLED THE "APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATOIN" (AEM). AFTER RECEIVING THAT SOFTWARE "FIX", MY TRUCK DRIVES NOTABLY DIFFERENT AND IS NOW VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE HUGE DROP IN POWER AND INCREASE IN TURBO LAG. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD OR NOT COMPLETELY UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE, I EXPERIENCE ALMOST NO THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY BY MY HOUSE. THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF TURBO LAG, TO THE TUNE OF SEVERAL SECONDS, WHICH MAKES PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT. THIS WAS NEVER AN ISSUE PRIOR TO THE REQUIRED AEM UPDATE, SO I'M FILING A COMPLAINT TO OUTLINE THIS DRASTIC DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE WHICH IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS FOR THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF RAM AND JEEP CUSTOMERS.
