Consumer Description
2020 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL HAS A SERIOUS TURBO LAG. WHEN YIELDING AND THEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE POWER SEEMS TO JUST DROP OUT, FALLS FLAT. BY THIS TIME VEHICLE COASTS INTO APPROACHING LANES AND THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WITH A BURST OF POWER. I FEEL IT IS TURBO LAG BUT MAY ALSO BE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DOWN SHIFTING IN TIME IN ADDITION. I'VE HEARD NUMEROUS OTHERS MENTION THIS AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO WATCH FOR CONSTANTLY BUT CANNOT CATCH IT EVERYTIME. THIS SPECIFICALLY HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GO TO EXIT MY LONG DRIVEWAY ONTO A 4 LANE HWY. *TR
