Truck was running fine with no issues until the emissions V08 recall. Truck now has a significant lag when accelerating from a stopped position. It typically happens when turning (pulling out from a stopped position). It has almost caused us to get in to two different accidents due to lack of acceleration. My whole family was in the car at the time. I refuse to let my children ride as passengers now because it is a huge safety risk. My truck was fine before the recall software update (V08) and now it's a huge safety hazard.

After having the required aem recall flashed to my ecodiesel ECU the truck has serious performance issues that did not exist before. I have almost been hit a couple of times because of horrible lag. I have had 2 ecodiesel trucks, a 2014 and this 2016 and this kind of scary lack of power was never an issue before the epa settlement update. The driveability and safety have been dramatically reduced.

After receiving the emissions recall update V08 on my Ram ecodiesel it now has a lag when pressing the gas pedal that has nearly resulted in me being hit by other drivers because the truck will not accelerate properly. This is most noticeable when at a stop and making a left hand turn.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. While the vehicle was at a complete stop, the throttle failed to accelerate. There were no warning indicators illuminated. After the contact applied full pressure to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle slowly accelerated and the turbo engine responded, which then caused the vehicle to accelerate rapidly. The vehicle was taken to lithia Dodge (4025 10th ave great falls, mt 59405, 406-205-3430) where it was diagnosed that the turbo engine failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Fca ecodiesel emissions recall - aem software update was performed on my 2016 Ram ecodiesel (June 3, 2019) by servicing dealer. Software update was not supposed to impact vehicle performance, drivability, fuel economy, etc. This is not the case as all indicated characteristics have been negatively affected by this update. Most concerning is the aem recall software update has induced a significant throttle response delay when trying to accelerate from a stop or at low speeds until the engine reaches full operating temperature. In some instances throttle response delay is as long as 3 or 4 seconds before the engine will respond and accelerate. This creates an extremely dangerous condition when trying to turn onto a busy road or accelerate in normal or heavy traffic conditions. I do not feel comfortable turning onto a busy road until the engine is at full temperature for fear of causing an accident. Once the engine drops below a certain temperature the acceleration delay comes back. This issue needs to be addressed with fca Chrysler asap before people get hurt or killed.

Loud lifter noise at cold start and ideling stationary and in motion

- Sun Valley, ID, USA

Total engine failure. Chrysler in process of replacing engine that was repaired at 1oi miles for the same problem. Transmission has stuck in either 3rd or 5th gear and would not downshift or upshift - second time the transmission has done this. Have a video proving shifting faults. In both instances, the vehicle was either idling or in motion for the engine failures and was in motion in both instances when with the transmission failure. Several dealer recalls have been made on the vehicle that did not involve either of the above. Window clips have been replaced for driver side front window several times because they either break or come off and have to be repaired with new clips each time. If they are not replaced, there is a risk that the window will crash inside the door if attempt is made to roll down or roll up the power window. Vehicle is currently in the dealership shop for engine replacement; documentation is not yet available for this instance but can be provided when it becomes available.

While driving truck the engine light came on and there was a loud noise. Brought it to shop and they said the lifter slipped out of plastic tray it was in and messed of the camshaft. Who uses plastic in a hemi engine that gets so hot. It was scary cuz the truck was missing and I was afraid it would stop while I was on freeway in houston Texas. This is a common problem with this engine. The 2013-2015 were recalled for this and apparently it isn't any better with the 2016. Please check into it.

Exhaust manifold bolts have sheared and snapped. With less than 50K miles on the truck the exhaust manifold bolts have sheared. This results in a leak of exhaust gases into the cabin of the truck. Making the vehicle unsafe and at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The Ram dealership stated that this is a common problem 3/6/2019

Vehicle was running. Serious oil leak formed between the top of the engine block and the oil filter adapter (this part also houses two sensors and an oil cooler). This leak is so severe oil pools on top of the block and runs down the back of the engine directly onto transmission bell housing and exhaust piping. Hot piping causes oil to burn and creates risk of fire. This is an extremely widespread problem with 2014 and newer Chrysler vehicles that are equipped with the 3.6 liter 'pentastar' V6. Chrysler has so far refused to recall the parts, design a suitable replacement part, or fix the issue outside of the basic power train warranty.

When starting my vehicle I noticed a ticking sound. After idling a couple minutes the ticking would get quieter. Recently I can still hear the ticking while driving. I've heard it could be the manifold bolts getting sheered off or it can be the purge solenoid. To me it sounds like a lifter ticking.
