Description of the problem | After the mandatory emissions update on my ecodiesel i am going to get seriously hurt trying to get out in to traffic at a stop light or sign. There is serious lag in the throttle response and sometimes no response at all. How can something that was supposed to make us safer leave us so very vulnerable. Please, please, please for a fix to this issue. Also the update was not supposed to cause a change in fuel economy or the way our vehicles run. It is horrible. It's bad enough that the fuel economy is so drastically reduced, but seriously this is a huge safety hazard. Every time that i am at a stop and then push on my throttle i have no idea if the pickup is going to respond or not. Numerous times i have been stalled out with traffic coming at me both ways. It is an extremely frightening experience. Worse, i am considering an after market "tune" as are 1000's of others. This is not the answer to this widespread problem. Please make dodge fix this terrible safety issue. How many preventable crashes will there have to be? |
