My 2015 Ram 1500 abruptly downshifted into 4th gear while driving down the road at approximately 50 MPH. I immediately pulled off the road and found that the truck was stuck in 4th gear.

Extreme lag during acceleration has almost resulted in multiple accidents. Work commute has me turning left onto busy road with limited visibility due to blind corner and I've almost been t-boned/rear ended because of the lag between giving the truck gas and actual acceleration. This is becoming more prevalent as temperatures drop.

Ecodiesel - following recall aem (approved emissions modification) update, throttle response is extremely poor at times. When turning onto a roadway from a stop the vehicle is sometimes very slow to accelerate, risk of collision due to being unable to increase to safe speed.

Re: 2015 ram 1500 pickup with 3.0 ecodiesel engine and automatic transmission following the v08 emissions recall, drivability has been seriously reduced and has created dangerous throttle lag and improper automatic transmission gear selection.

Emissions recall update involving v08 has forced my truck performance to now cause for concern the way I am able to drive my truck safely. The pedal response is terrible compared to the "stock software" and is a slow reaction until the truck is "warmed" up to about 150f degrees.

Since having the emission recall update installed, acceleration has been excessively reduced at engine temperatures below 150 degrees. The vehicle does not accelerate at a safe level from a stop. This has nearly caused multiple accidents due to the unexpected slow acceleration.

When coming to a stop, vehicle fuel shifts in tank forcing vehicle unexpectedly forward under braking. If unprepared for the shift, which only happens under braking when the truck downshifts, the truck will overpower the currently applied brakes taking more time to stop. This can result in a collision with a stopped vehicle or object if the driver does not apply harder braking.

Vehicle is a 2015 ram 1500 truck with 8-speed transmissions and "dial-a-gear" electronic gear selector. The vehicle was driven to a gas station and pulled up next to a gas pump. Driver exited the vehicle, and realized that they needed to pull forward about 2 more feet to better align the truck with the gas pump.

This truck jerks into first and second gear when slowing down. This transmission defect lunges the truck forward in a very abrupt and surprising manner. The truck is difficult and dangerous to drive, specifically in heavy traffic.

On 6/12/17 I backed out of my garage and shifted the truck into park.(electronic rotary dial shifter mounted on dash) I exited the truck to retrieve an item in the garage, leaving the truck running. My 10 year old son, who was inside the truck, screamed to alert me. I observed my truck in motion moving forward toward my garage.(not coasting as if it were in neutral but rather in drive).

Bought a brand new 2015 dodge ram 1500, the first week I had an issue with one of the windows not going back up, about a month later I was driving and the new knob shifter, went into neutral by itself while I was driving. Meant to take it in, but had been so busy with work, that I was going to wait until the first oil change.
