NHTSA complaint #11390735, filed 2021-01, 60 miles“I own a 2018 ecodiesel and when my truck went in for an oil change they did an update called aem or v08 emissions update. After the update my truck no longer accelerates from a stop. It crawls at under 10mph extremely slow aprox. 90 seconds until the vehicle accelerates.

Prior to the update I was getting 27 mpg, now the best I have gotten was 19mpg. …”
NHTSA complaint #11256635, filed 2019-09, 18,000 miles“I want to report a safety concern.

We took out financing to purchase and the great 2018 ecodiesel dodge Ram. …”
NHTSA complaint #11308376, filed 2020-02, 4,100 miles“When my truck ran out of gas in the middle of the freeway off ramp we were unable to push it to the side of the road because the brakes were locked. I had at least five gentlemen offer to help me push it out from blocking the off ramp but we could not because of the locked up brakes. I sat there for 45 minutes being cursed at and honked at because chrysler stupidly thought it is a good idea to have the brakes lock whenever the engine stalls. I called the dealer and they said yes it does that on purpose but agreed it probably a bad feature. …”
