2015 Ram 1500 complaints

AFTER THE EMISSIONS RECALL FIX, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS A 5-6 SECOND PEDDLE LAG WHEN TAKING OFF. IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN COLD BUT STILL HAS LAG WHEN WARM. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE BROADSIDED SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO NOTED A 5-6 MPG DROP WITH THE EMISSIONS SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY CLAIMED THE UPDATE WOULDN'T EFFECT DRIVE ABILITY OR MPG BUT IT DID AND BAD

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR AN "APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION" AEM. IT WAS STATED THAT, "THE AEM WAS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF YOUR VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES...ETC" AFTER MY VEHICLE RECEIVED THE AEM IT CHANGED MY VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY. 1. THE VEHICLE LOST THE LOW END POWER AND YOU HAVE TO STEP ON THE GAS JUST TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. I'VE EXPERIENCED LAG TIMES THAT EXCEED 4 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS EITHER FROM BEING AT A FULL STOP, CASUAL, OR FREEWAY DRIVING. 2. WHEN GOING UP A STEEP HILL AT SLOW SPEEDS (15 MPH FOR EXAMPLE) THE VEHICLE SHIFTS UP UNTIL THE TRUCK BOGS DOWN AND ALMOST COMES TO A STOP. PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR REVS THE ENGINE UP, PAUSES FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN DROPS INTO A LOW GEAR AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS LASTS MOMENTARILY UNTIL THE VEHICLE UPSHIFTS AGAIN AND BOGS DOWN. THIS CYCLE IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER IF YOU HAVE TO ASCEND SLOWLY. 3. WHEN ACCELERATING UNTO THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 8TH GEAR. IT HOLDS AT 2100+ RPM AND WON'T SHIFT UP UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR! THIS VEHICLE IS A HAZARD ON THE ROADWAY AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ADDITIONALLY, THE AEM HAS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO GET A 20% REDUCTION IN MPG. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL TIMES AND OPENED UP A CASE. I WAS JUST RECENTLY SENT AN E-MAIL REPLY SAYING "THEY" ARE FINISHED WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND, "YOUR CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE HAVE BEEN FULLY DIAGNOSED BY OUR CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT WHAT YOU ARE EXP

THE AEM RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THE TRUCK HAS A HORRIBLE TURBO LAG, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF PICKING IT UP. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT LOOK AT IT AND THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR ROAD USE.

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.

MY TRUCK RECEIVED THE V08 EMISSIONS SOFTWARE RECALL BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN JULY OF 2019. AS WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER ECODIESEL OWNERS, I AM EXPERIENCING A DANGEROUS THROTTLE LAG WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. IF I TRY TO TURN LEFT AND MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THERE IS A SEVERAL SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTS BUILDING SPEED. I FEEL THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE UNINTENTIONALLY CUT PEOPLE OFF BECAUSE OF THIS THROTTLE LAG AND ANGERED OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AFTER THE V08 RECALL ON INTERNET FORUMS. FCA IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FIX COMING ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET BUT WHO KNOWS IF THAT IS TRUE OR HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE. THE AEM WAS "NOT SUPPOSED TO ALTER VEHICLE PERFORMANCE" ACCORDING TO THE RECALL LETTER. OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS NOT TRUE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANOR. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A SAFETY RECALL. SOME ARE ALSO CLAIMING THEIR VEHICLES ARE CATCHING FIRE AFTER THE AEM WAS PERFORMED.

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM ENGINE BAY. MOTOR CUT OUT AND THEN BURST INTO FLAMES.

AFTER AEM UPDATE THEIR IS A THROTTLE AND TURBO LAG THAT HAS PUT ME IN HARMS WAY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN THE ENGINE FAILS TO ACCELERATE FOR SOME TIMES UP TO A BLOCK MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MERGE SAFELY WITH TRAFFIC THIS HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS. BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE NEW SOFTWARE THAT UPDATED THE REQUIRED AEM THIS PROBLEM IS BEING IGNORED BY FCA AND YOU HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS BEFORE YOU ACT?

AFTER RESOLVING RECALL FOR EMMSUONS ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS LAGGING. AFTER I MAKE A TURN ONTO A ROAD THE TRUCK FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE IS BEING PUSHED. IT HAS ABOUT A 3-4 SECOND LEG TIME. IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD IN A 90 DEGREE TURN GOING THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BY TRAFFICKING THAT WAS ORIGINALLY 150-200 FEET AWAY WHEN I ORIGINALLY TURNED ONTO THE ROAD. THE LAG IS ALSO NOTICED IN PASSING SITUATIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED IN EIGHTH GEAR, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO SIXTH GEAR. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL MILEAGE DECREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARLOCK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT OF TUPELO (966 CROSS CREEK DR, SALTILLO, MS 38866, (662) 842-2277) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EGR COOLER BURST AND WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,435. *BF *TP

I HAD THE RECALL FROM RAM FOR THE ECODIESEL RECALL AND NOW THE TRUCK IS COMPLETE UNSAFE. I CAN'T EVEN ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT GETTING NERVOUS. THE TRUCK LAGS AND THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS TERRIBLE NOW. INSTEAD OF BUYING THEM BACK LIKE VOLKSWAGEN DID, CHRYSLER PUT US IN DEATH TRAPS.

I HAD THE AEM RECALL AND THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY SLUGGISH UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY WARM. EVEN IF IT SITS FOR 1/2 HOUR OR MORE IT IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. HARD TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION ETC. WHEN IT WILL BARELY MOVE.

WHEN I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN SEPTEMBER 2018, EARNHARDT TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE RECALL TO THE TAILGATE, AND WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING MY TAILGATE DROPPED OPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FOR ONE YEAR.

FCA ISSUED A SOFTWARE UPDATE KNOWN AT "AEM" AFTER THEY LOST THEIR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I HAD MY TRUCK UPDATED ON 5/29/19 WITH THE "AEM", ROTARY SHIFT AUTOPARK RECALL UPDATE, THE SEAT BELT RECALL UPDATE, AIRBAG RECALL UPDATE, AND THE TAILGATE RECALL UPDATE. I ALSO HAD A CATASTROPHIC EGR SYSTEM FAILURE THAT MADE MY TRUCK INOPERABLE FOR NEARLY THREE WEEKS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW UTTERLY UNPREDICTABLE. AFTER THE INITIAL START, I RANDOMLY HAVE NO LOW-END POWER. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY LURCHES FORWARD AT FULL SPEED WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR FROM A FULL STOP. THIS MORNING I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A DEAD STOP INTO TRAFFIC. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT BARELY INCHED FORWARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. SUDDENLY IT HIT FULL POWER AND LAUNCHED INTO THE ROADWAY, BARELY IN TIME TO KEEP FROM BEING T-BONED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SOON THEREAFTER I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO STOP SO THAT I COULD TURN LEFT. THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW AND TRAFFIC STOPPED SO I TRIED TO TURN. MY TRUCK STUMBLED AND BARELY MOVED UNTIL IT AGAIN, LAUNCHED FORWARD AT FULL POWER CAUSING THE READ END TO SKID OUT TO THE SIDE AND STRIKE THE CURB OF THE SIDEWALK. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS A COMPLETELY RANDOM SHIFT PATTERN. WHEN CRUISING AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE MAY BE RUNNING AT 1500 RPM OR IT MAY BE 2250 RPM. THE INABILITY TO SHIFT CORRECTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS MEANS THAT I CANNOT RELIABLY MERGE WITH, OR OVERTAKE TRAFFIC. IT ALSO MEANS THAT MY TRUCK CANNOT RELIABLY TOW

AFTER V08/V11 RECALL WAS PERFORMED I NOW EXPERIENCE LOSS OF ACCELERATION TILL WARM UP. LIKE A DEAD PEDAL. ALSO A LOSS OF A CONFIRMED 5-6MPG. IT WAS STATED IN THE RECALL WE WOULD NOT LOOSE MILEAGE. IF WE DID IT WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL. 5MPG IS NOT MINIMAL. MY TRUCK WILL BARELY STAY IN 8TH GEAR NOW. JUST BOUNCING BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH. NOW EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT ALL THE FIRES DUE TO EGR VALVES STICKING OPEN AND CAUSING THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLDS TO CATCH FIRE. MY WIFE IS VERY NERVOUS TO TAKE IT ON TRIPS OR EVEN PARK IT IN THE GARAGE. WE HAD NEW SMOKE DETECTORS ADDED IN GARAGE INCASE TRUCK DOES CATCH ON FIRE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THESE ISSUES. THERE ARE MORE THAN YOU THINK. PEDAL ISSUE, LOSS OF FUEL MILEAGE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. THANKS

RECENT ECM UPDATE BY FCA HAS DETUNED MY TRUCK. LOSS OF MPG, TURBO LAG, CAUSING FIRES.

MY VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND HAVE NEVER BEEN MODIFIED. AFTER THE ADVANCE ENGINE MODIFICATION (V08), I NOTICE A DELAY ON THE THROTTLE. SCARY ENOUGH TO NOT BEING ABLE PULL OUT OF THE WAY OF ACCIDENT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER AT INITIAL PUSH WHEN OVER TAKING BUT WHEN IT GETS THERE IT WILL MAINTAIN THE SPEED.

I HAD THE UPDATED AEM INSTALLED IN MY 2015 RAM ECO DIESEL. NOW AT TIMES I STEP ON THE GAS AND IT LAGS REALLY BAD(NO POWER). THIS COULD BE BAD WHILE IN TRAFFIC ETC

DID THE AEM RECALL EMISSIONS REPROGRAM. THE TRUCK NOW HAS VERY SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN COLD. YOU HAVE TO FLOOR THE THROTTLE TO GET IT TO MOVE WHEN COLD. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR LEAVING A STOP. THE FUEL ECONOMY HAS DROPPED TO 20-21 MPG FROM 25 AND HIGHER. IT IS A MUCH DIFFERENT AND NOT ENJOYED TRUCK ANYMORE. TALKED WITH DEALER. THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS ALMOST EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT SAY "HOPEFULLY A DIFFERENT RE FLASH OR TUNE WILL BE SENT AFTER THE COMPLAINTS" WISHING NOW IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE BUY BACK OFFER.

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.

TRUCK HITS BUMPS AND IT LIKE SLIDES ALL OVER THE ROAD. AND I HAVE A CLUNKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S FROM. DEALER LOOKED COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL. THAT'S HOW BAD IT MOVES. MY WHEEL BEARINGS SEEM OK, AND MY TIE ROD ENDS SO NOT SURE IF SHOCKS COULD CAUSE CRAZY MOVEMENT FROM BUMPS OR NOT.

RECEIVED A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT FOR A PROBLEM IN THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. INVOICE REPORT SHOWS PLASTIC FROM INTAKE MANIFOLD MELTING AND GETTING INTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. ALSO, ECODIESEL AEM UPDATE V08 HAS CAUSED PEDAL LAG, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE.

AFTER AN EMISSIONS RECALL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM ECO DIESEL I NOW EXPERIENCE LOWER MPG AND POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE ALONG WITH A NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN TRANSMISSION SHIFTING.. AT TIMES WHEN PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR A BIT THEN SEEMS TO ACCELERATE OKAY. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN DO TO THE FACT IT ISN'T CONSISTENT. I HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN ACCELERATING BECAUSE I WAS CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES ALREADY. BEFORE THE EMISSIONS UPDATE I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS.

SINCE HAVING THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DONE ON MY RAM ECODIESEL THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY UNTIL THE ENGINE SEEMS TO REACH FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PULL ONTO ANOTHER HIGHWAY THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. WITH COLDER WEATHER APPROACHING I AM CONCERNED THIS ISSUE MAY WORSEN.

POWER IS OFF,THROTTLE LAG IS BAD TURBO WILL NOT SPOOL UP UNTIL HIGH RPM,TRANSMISSION WON'T STAY IN 8 GEAR WITH THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE AND SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH FROM 6/7/8 WHEN PULLING SMALL LOADS AND WITH BIG LOADS IT USE TO STAY IN 8TH GEAR ALMOST ALL THE TIME FUEL MILEAGE IS DOWN BY 6/8 MILES TO THE GALLON ALL THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER THE VO8 RECALL,HAD TO HAVE A EGR COOLER AND PIPE PUT ON BECAUSE IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE, TRUCK IS SCARY TO DRIVE NOW YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IS WILL EXCELLERATE WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS SOME TIMES IT WILL TAKE UP TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT START PULLING AND I HAVE A I CLING GOING OUT OF MY DRIVE AND IT ALMOST STALLS WHEN GOING OUT IN THE MORNING AND AFTER IT WARMS UP IT WILL THROW DRIVEL WHEN IT FINALLY STRTS PULLING . THIS WINTER WILL BE BAD WHEN IT GETS COLD BECAUSE IT IS BAD SLUGGISH IN THE MORNING TRUCK IS SCARED TO DRIVE NOW COMPARED TO BEFORE THE VO8 FLASH.FCA COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO CURE THIS PROBLEM AND MISSISSIPPI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CALIFORNIAPOLUTION STANDARD . MY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE AND GETTING FANTASTIC FUEL MILEAGE BEFORE THIS AND NOW IT HARD TO GET 20/21 OUT OF IT ON THE ROAD WHERE I WAS GETTING 28/30 YOU COULD STAND BEHIND MY TRUCK BEFOR FLASH AND NOT SMELL NOTHING BUT NOW IT WILL BURN YOUR NOSE . TEST WERE RUN BEFOR VO8 CRACKLE AND IT MET POLLUTION STANDARDS HOW DID FCA GET SUED FOR PASSING THE STANDARDS I GUESS CAL JUST DOESN'T LIKE DIESELS, DON'T THINK I WILL EVER GO TO CALIFORNIA OR BUY ANOTHER FCA VEHICLE I GUESS I WILL GO

WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK IT RAN GOOD PULLED GREAT AND GOT FANTASTIC FUEL MILEAGE . I HAD THE RECALL DONE THE VO8 REF LASH, SINCE THAT WAS DONE MY MILEAGE HAS DROPPED 5/8 MILES PER GALLON THEIR IS A BAD THROTTLE LAG AND NO POWER COMING OFF A STOP MY EGR HAS BROKEN AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND ONE I CAN HARDLY GET 21 MILES PER GALLON BY IT SELF ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT STAY IN 8TH GEAR LIKE IT DID WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE EASTERN U S WITH NO PROBLEM PULLING ENCLOSED TRAILERS ANDS 35 HP 4/4 TRACTOR GETTING 19 TO 22 MILES PER GALLON AT 7/5 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR AND STAYING IN 8 THE GEAR. NOW NO POWER AND YOU HAVE TO STAY IN IT TO MAKE IT PULL AND TRANS. SHIFTS FROM 6/7 ALL THE TIME AND FUEL MILEAGE IS TERABLE AS LOW AS 16.6 I WILL NO LONGER USE THAT TRUCK TO GO ON DESASTER RELIEF ANY MORE BECAUSE IT IS SCARED TO DRIVE. IT USE TO BE A FUN TRUCK TO DRIVE BUT NOT NOW I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND A PREE MECHANIC AND THIS TRUCK STINKS NOW I AM ASHAMED TO TALK IT UP ANYMORE LIKE I DID WHEN IT WAS NEW I GUESS WHEN IT FAILS I WILL PUT IT IN THE FRONT YARD WITH A LEMON SIGN ON IT AND LEAVE IT I AM ONE DISSATIFIED CUSTOMER AND I HAVE 4 DODGES BUT WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER ONE UNLESS THESE ARE FIXED LIKE THEY WERE WHEN THEY WERE NEW.

BIG LAG WITH ACCELERATION FROM STOP. THIS IS SINCE THE FCA REFLASH FOR THE REBATE

DID THE FLASH UPGRADE TO FIX THE RECALL V08 AND EVER SINCE THEN IT HAS NO ACCELERATION WHEN COMING OFF A STOP. IT HAS A LAG OF A SECOND OR TWO AND IS VERY SCARY WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS SUCH A LAG THAT PULLING OUT THAT THAT YOUR NOT SURE THAT YOU WONT GET IN A ACCIDENT.

INVOLVING THE ECO DIESEL EMISSIONS UPDATE PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 AT THE DEALERSHIP BY FCA ON 06/11/19 SAID IT WOULD NOT CHANGE THE DRIVEABLITY OF THE VEHICLE BUT IT HAS, IN THE ACCELERATION THAT IS DELAYED OR SOMETIMES JUST NOT THERE AT ALL, THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND INTERMITTENT WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A ROADWAY I MUST TAKE THE POSSIBILITY IN MIND THAT THE VEHICLE MIGHT NOT GET GOING INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERY DAY DRIVERS. THANK YOU ,PLEASE ADVISE

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSIONS ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE FCA SETTLEMENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT I NOTICE AT TIMES NOW WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IT HESITATES ON TAKE OFF NOW AND TAKES A MIN BEFORE SEEMING TO GET THE POWER TO GO. SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION DELAY, LOTS OF LAG . PLEASE LOOK AT ARTICLE ON TLFTRUCKS.COM SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE SAYING SAME THING PLEASE HELP !!!!

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GRADUALLY FAILED INCIDENT TO A STRIKE ON A CONCRETE VERTICAL POLE WHILE IN A TURN APPROX 10MPH IN PARKING LOT. ALIGNMENT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY OFF. ALIGNED, BUT THE STEERING STILL CAUGHT/ FRICTION DURING TURNS, STEERING WOULD NO LONGER SCENTER UP. TOOK TO 3RD PARTY, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. BARELY USED VEHICLE, AND AFTER PARKING AND POWER OFFF, AT NEXT START THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING TOTALLY FAILED, NEEDED TO APPLY 40-50 LBS OF FORCE ON STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT TO DO LIMITED TURNING, AND IT WOULD FREEZE IN THE NEW POSITION. UNDRIVEABLE, PAID TO TOW TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS NOT DUE TO STRIKING THE BOLLARD, BUT THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT STARTED RIGHT THEN AFTER STRIKING THE BOLLARD, AND THAT IT BECAME WORSE OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS WITH VERY LITTLE USE THEN TOTALLY FAILED. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT MY VIN.

LOSES POWER STEERING AT SLOWER CITY SPEEDS AND WHILE MAKING TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LEVER FAILED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE FUEL SENSOR ALARMED ALERTED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED AND THE FUEL LEVEL DISPLAYED ZERO; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT NEW THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR COULD BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART AND WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY FOR TWO YEARS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT A NEWLY DESIGNED FUEL LEVER SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,186.

INTERRION OF TRUCK FILLS UP WITH WATER BECAUSE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, MANIFOLD BOLTS AND GASKETS NEED REPLACED DUE TO SOME ISSUE. TAPPING NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

VERY WEAK ACCELERATION AFTER AEM UPDATE

I RECENTLY HAD THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION PERFORMED ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL. SINCE THE MODIFICATION, THE TRUCK HAS A TERRIBLE LAG WHEN I TAKE OFF, SOMETIMES UP TO 5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON ACCELERATOR AND TRY TO GO. THIS LAG IS GOING TO GET ME HIT AND POSSIBLY KILLED. ONLINE FORUMS OF FELLOW RAM ECODIESEL OWNERS STATE THE SAME PROBLEM. RAM NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED AND PUSH OUT AN UPDATE THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM OR I'M GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IN THIS TRUCK. IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL MODIFICATION.

AFTER HAVING RECALL, V08 DONE ON MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL TRUCK. I HAVE AN EXTREME LAG WHEN TAKING OFF. IT IS SO BAD IT COULD BE DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A COMPLETE STOP. IT IS A DEAD PEDAL WITH NO ACCELERATION WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON PEDAL. THIS OCCURS WHEN EVER I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. I DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE V08 UPDATE. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A VERY WIDE PROBLEM AMONG RAM 1500'S THAT HAVE HAD V08 COMPLETED. IS THERE A FIX OR UPDATE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE?

THE RADIO IN THE 2015 RAM TRUCKS HAS A LOT OF ISSUES. THE NAVIGATION WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT, THERE IS JO WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE ISSUE FIXES ITS SELF IN TIME AND WITHOUT WARNING WILL GO OUT AGAIN. THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON AT TIMES, SO ALL CONTROLS THAT GO THROUGH THE RADIO ARE ALSO OUT. TO GET POWER TO COME BACK ON I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AMD OFF SEVERAL TIMES. THE PART NUMBER FOR MY RADIO IS 1C6RR7NM1FS[XXX]. MY TRUCK IS A LARAMIE ECODIESEL MODEL. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE RADIOS. RAM KNOWS OF THESE ISSUES BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT, TREATS IT AS TOUGH LUCK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

AFTER THE V08 RECALL THE DRIVABILITY OF VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS. THE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THE LAG OF THE ENGINE IS ALSO A HUGE CONCERN BUT IT HANDLES TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WHILE IT STILL SEEMS DECENTLY RELIABLE, FOR NOW, EVERYDAY UNSURENESS OF TRYING TO ANTICIPATE HOW THE VEHICLE WILL HANDLE DURING DRIVING IS THE PRIMARY FACTOR.

AFTER THE V08 RECALL MY MPG WENT FROM THE 27 TO 31 TO 19 TO 21 MPG THE RECALL WAS NOT SUPPOSED THE CHANGED THE MILEAGE THAT MUCH... AND THE SOME TIME IT SLOW TO THE START FROM A STOP

AFTER RECEIVING MY TRUCK BACK FROM A RAM DEALERSHIP WHO PREFORMED THE REQUIRED AEM EMISSIONS RECALL, IT HAS NOT RUN THE SAME. THE IS A NOTICEABLE MPG DROP BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN THE RESPONSE OF THE TRUCK WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS NOTICEABLE WHEN LIGHTLY ACCELERATING WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR WHEN YOU HAVE TO AGGRESSIVELY ACCELERATE TO EITHER AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE OR WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED OF MOVING TRAFFIC.

I PURCHASE A 2015 RAM 1500 ECO-DIESEL IN DECEMBER 2015. ON JUNE 1, 2119, THE DEALER PERFORMED THE COURT APPROVED ECO-DIESEL MODIFICATIONS IN CONFORMANCE WITH EPA MANDATE. I SUBMITTED MY CLAIM TO FCA ON JUNE 3,2019. AFTER THE MODIFICATIONS, ACCELERATION FROM A STARTING POSITION LAGS BY ABOUT 3 SECONDS, CAUSING A DRIVER RESPONSE INCONSISTENCY THAT HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES OF ON-COMING CARS WHEN ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! NOT OF A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT A FALSE CLAIM MADE BY FCA IS THE FACT THAT THE DIESEL PERFORMANCE IN MILES PER GALLON HAS DROPPED FROM 24 MPG AVERAGE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS TO A 21.5 MPG AVERAGE FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. IN ADDITION, NO CLAIM PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED WITHIN THE 3 MONTHS AFTER MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE. LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT, BUT RESPONSES ARE ADDITIONAL BUREAUCRATIC DEMANDS MADE TO CONSUMER. THIS VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

AFTER RECALL V08 /V11 UPDATES: SEVERLY DELAYED TROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. FROM A STOP TO ACTUAL THROTTLE RESPONDING TO 3/4 PRESSURE IS AT A MINIMUM OF 30-40 FEET.

V08 RECALL. ACCELERATION FROM ANY SPEED, INCLUDING STANDING START IS DANGEROUSLY DELAYED, PULLING INTO AND ACROSS TRAFFIC IS UNPREDICTABLE. THERE IS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL AROUND 70% THROTTLE, THEN ACCELERATION IS UNPREDICTABLE AND LATE. FUEL CONSUMPTION IS BEYOND PASSABLE FOR SUCH A POTENTIALLY EFFICIENT AND POWERFUL ENGINE. THE PURPOSE OF THE VEHICLE IS LIGHT TOWING. THE POWER TRAIN HAS BEEN TUNED TO THE POINT THAT IT'S USELESS, THE VGT FIGHTS AT ABOVE 70% CAPACITY TO MAINTAIN TORQUE AND POWER TO THE WHEELS. FUEL INJECTION TIMING RANGES FROM -17 TO +5 DEGREES, ONLY TO MAINTAIN EMISSIONS EFFICIENCY, THE NEW ECU PROGRAMMING COMPLETELY IGNORES EFFICIENT ENGINE MANAGEMENT- FOCUSING ON EMISSIONS CONTROL. SYSTEM AND ENGINE COMPONENTS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR THE CRAZY EGT TEMPS THAT COME WITH THE LATE FUEL INJECTION. ENGINE FIRES- INTAKE MANIFOLD IN PARTICULAR- ARE BECOMING VERY COMMON. WILL IT TAKE A FEW FATALITIES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. ALL TO PROVE SOME EPA POINT. I COULD BE GETTING 30 PLUS MPG, WITHOUT THE EGR SYSTEM, STILL TARGET SPECIFIC EXHAUST GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS AND GET SOME RELIABILITY WITHOUT FEARING MY VEHICLE WILL BURST INTO FLAMES OR GET T-BONED TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING AN EMISSIONS UPDATE THAT WAS REQUIRED VIA A LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM. THE CONTACT HAD THE EMISSIONS UPDATED AT CORTESE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2400 W HENRIETTA RD, #2324, ROCHESTER, NY 14623, (800) 952-7892) IN JUNE OF 2019. SINCE THEN, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE DECREASED BY 25%. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST POWER, LOST ACCELERATION, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE DEALER AND INFORM THEM OF THE FAILURES. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT INFORMED THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THEN ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED AND CLOSED THE CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THE ENGINE BLEW UP UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS VOIDED BY AFTERMARKET PARTS. THE PARTS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FAILURE.FCA KNOWS THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FOUND THE EASY WAYOUT COSTING ME THOUSANDS...

I HAVE A 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL TRUCK. IT RECENTLY HAD THE UPGRADE TO THE EPA APPROVED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROGRAM AS A RESULT OF THE LAWSUIT BETWEEN THE EPA AND FCA, LLC. THIS NEW PROGRAM HAS INDUCED A "DEAD ZONE" IN MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL THAT IS, IN MY OPINION, DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD THIS NEW PROGRAM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND TWICE HAVE EXPERIENCED NO ACCELERATION WHILE PROGRESSIVELY PRESSING THE PEDAL WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE. MY CLAIM REP AT FCA, LLC INDICATED THAT FCA, LLC IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT BASICALLY I AM STUCK WITH THE PROGRAM. THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS BEFORE THE RE-PROGRAMMING UPGRADE. ANOTHER CASE OF "WE'RE FROM THE GOVERNMENT, AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP."

MOTOR CAUGHT FIRE AND DESTROYED VEHICLE. THIS WAS PARKED AT A HOME.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 RAM 1500 BRAND NEW ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY. AFTER ABOUT TWO YEARS THE RAM BOX COVERS DEGRADED WHICH LEAVE PIECES OF FIBERGLASS IN MY ARMS WHENEVER I REACH ACROSS THEM TO TIE SOMETHING DOWN OR GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE BED OF MY TRUCK. THIS CAUSES A RASH THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK. THIS IS NOT DUE TO OWNER ERROR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL AND THE ODOR OF SMOKE WAS PRESENT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES SEIZED AND PRODUCED SMOKE THE DEALER DIAGNOSED FAULTY CALIPERS THAT REQUIRED REPLACING THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE SPEED SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE ODOR OF SMOKE WAS PRESENT. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES HAD SEIZED AND WERE SMOKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BOBB AUTO GROUP. 13007 WICKER AVE, SEIRR LAKE IND WHILE DIAGNOSED THAT THE CALIPER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT RECEIVER FAILED TO PROPERLY LATCH AND HOLD THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS WAS FIRST DISCOVERED.
