After fca issued recall and required update done, dangerous driving conditions exist. the update is referred to as the v08 aem update. after update done suv became dangerously sluggish. when trying to accelerate to merge into traffic, power is dangerously low. this putting the drivers and passengers in danger when expecting suv to perform as pre update. suv also began to lurch forward when coming to a stop, which if not paying attention could cause an accident to occur. in addition suv now shifts very hard, which doesn't purpose any safety issue, but does make the suv uncomfortable to drive.
I took my vehicle to the dealer for service and to allow them to perform a recall to the emissions system per the notice i received. i picked up the vehicle and went to pull out into traffic and despite leaving plenty of room to accelerate, the vehicle took a very long time to move over 15 mph despite pressing the pedal harder. i ended up impeding traffic as it took so long to get moving. this slow response continued for the first 15-20 minutes and improved some, but not to normal operation. it was already late in the day, so i thought i would return to the dealer the next day to see what the problem was. the next morning, the vehicle again has very long delays from the time you depress the accelerator and the time it actually moves. it again improved once it warmed up, but still feels like it is starting in 2nd gear and has an unacceptably long delay before it moves from a stop. i feel that this is a safety issue as the vehicle now cannot merge into traffic within a reasonable amount of time. in addition, the exhaust seems to have been ...

Engine shuddered and stopped while in park. tried to restart, but would not start (electrical was fine). had it towed and fuel injector replaced. drove for approximately 75 miles and acceleration ceased on busy highway at 70mph. when able to pull over and stop, would not go into park (even though shifter indicated that it was in park). dashboard indicated that my speed was too high to shift (i do not recall the full message) and it began to roll backwards into traffic. i turned it off and it stopped rolling. tow truck said he had difficulty putting it in neutral. prior to failure to accelerate, there was a heavy rumbling sound when gas pedal pushed; then it sounded like small parts were falling off of the engine; then grinding sound but no acceleration. i saw a brief message about 4wheel drive, but was trying to get to safety, so i do not know what it said. i had a passenger and toddler in the car. frightening!
