Consumer Description

AFTER HAVING THE AEM (APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION) DONE FOR MY VEHICLE I HAVE NOTICED AN EXTREME LAG IN ENGINE RESPONSE. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP IT TAKES AT LEAST FOUR SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND AS IT USED TO BEFORE THIS UPDATE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES, EVEN TAKING THIS RESPONSE TIME INTO CONSIDERATION BEFORE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THAT I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF RESPONSE OR ACCELERATION. A CHECK ON ANY RAM ECODIESEL FORUM ON THE WEB WILL FIND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. ALL AGREE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN SOMEONE'S DEATH. I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE IN DOWN BELOW BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
