Misfiring after 475 miles

[daniellelaven022]

@HTX @daniellelaven022 did either of yours make a weird rattling sound while accelerating prior to this? Mine has under 100miles, has been making this sound since I drove it off the lot. It’s not horrible but noticeable.

Mine wasn’t making a noise but when the engine light came on and started flashing i was driving up a hill and when I was giving throttle it clunked into gear I'm assuming from the misfire.

Made the decision to flip out of this vehicle and into my original order. At this point it seems like they are just going to install the cats and move on their way. My original order is on its way to the dealer and should be here next week. I will check on this vehicle in the next week or two to see if there are any findings. Sorry there isn’t better news to share on causation.

Smart decision.. Hopefully you are not losing much on it

Why would you not keep it until (if) the Lemon Law triggers are met and not lose a penny?

Is yours at Helfman (can't remember if we talked about that)?

Mine has been there a week with the same mileage. Driver's automatic door lock inop and flashing odometer (that is possibly related to Mopar power step install)

Sorry about your troubles. Frustrating beyond measure

 

[Ghost02]

Not losing anything in the trade. Yes at Helfman

Understand, for sure. Poor next guy that buys it.

Yes I was surprised that RAM wouldn’t have wanted to take it back to study given it’s happened to at least one other and presumably more to come. It’s not a cheap fix nor does it seem parts are readily available so waiting for a recall seems dumb. Who knows though

Man RAM sure knows how to RAM people right up the ass. Like...WTF over?

I’m taking mine in later this week. It just has a weird sound when accelerating that doesn’t sound good. To me it almost sounds like a mild engine knock/ping, but doesn’t feel like it’s losing power and I don’t have any check engine lights on. Hoping it’s just something something simple. The weird thing is I don’t hear it when in neutral and revving. Only when in gear and accelerating.

Sorry to see this and hope it’s nothing.

How many miles do you have on yours? And how long have you had it?

Picked it up Thursday. 270 miles but it has made this sound since I drove it off the lot. Kept telling myself it was just normal engine noise.

Yea that’s a misfire in my opinion.

That’s what I’m thinking. Interesting that there’s no check engine light though.

 

[Gassywizard22]

Mine misfired before CEL came on, for what it’s worth.

Good to know actually

 

[Clutch23]

Has anyone heard any update on these issues?

Man I haven’t heard a peep. I’m interested to know any update from the guy having RAM engineers troubleshooting his truck misfiring, I cant remember the username.

It's the same person who started the thread. He said RAM engineer couldn't figure it out lol

Well that’s not good lol

 

[Joe86]

Well. RAM Engineer was unable to identify a cause. They were able to get the second cat delivered so they will install it tomorrow and drive it around while the engineer runs tests that the dealer cannot run. hopefully they can identify a cause then.. more to come, again.

Great . Way to go RAM, bunch of useless fucks. Lemon law that shit and have them pay up sucker.

While there’s no doubt some concern here, I am confident it’ll be fixed, addressed , etc. I worked for Mazda corporate for a number of years. Trust me when I say, they do SO much R&D but even we had issues with new model rollouts and no one wants those.

I agree that you would think in this day and age it wouldn’t occur but it does. I have faith and we look forward to getting ours as long as the dealer come close to Mark Dodge/Ram pricing.

I’m building my new 363 for my Mustang and you’d think by now there’s no more R&D to do(50 year plus old car) and everything will be perfect but you still have issues. Guess being 50 has lessened my tension a little
