Misfiring after 475 miles

[RHORam]

I have been with RAM for over 20 years now and owned many of their trucks. Mainly due to the fact that I get tired of vehicles way too fast lol. I went thru similar patterns with the HEMI line up in the beginning and that went on to be a leading engine/powertrain for a long time. Not saying it is a perfect way of thinking to expect failures, but with these vehicles having so much tech it is bound to happen. RAM has always stood by their products, at least for me they have. That is the one thing that makes investing in this expensive truck easier to bare. Everyone has had their horror experiences with brands along the way. One thing that sets them apart is being there to solve a problem and not just ignoring you/pushing you away. I can almost guarantee they had parts/components that had issues and delayed this launch.

My Ram experience 0 and 2.....

I bought a new 2022 Ram Rebel GT, it had a noticeable gas pedal hesitation (without coding), the dealership said it was my driving ...."BS". Then the truck progressed into stalling 10 times in busy traffic, throwing codes, which they also could not cure.

Thru it all, I spent way too much time at the dealership service center and finally had to "Lemon Law" the truck.

Although I enjoyed the truck, I could not live with unexpected stalling so I ordered an RHO May 9 which still today is in "D" status. After 6 months of not having a vehicle I give up on the RHO and bought new alternatives (Honda Ridgeline Trailsport and BMW Z4 M40i).

I hope the RHO problems that I am seeing online are just short term startup issues and can be cured in a timely manner with better luck than I had with my Rebel or my RHO order.

Life is good now.....

PS....what I still miss is the sweet sound of the factory Rebel GT catbacks' and the Hemi 5.7 V8

Wait…you wanted an RHO & ended up with a Honda Ridgeline Trailsport?

To each their own. A least you know, it should be reliable.

I was thinking the same thing....went from one side of the spectrum to the complete opposite.

Ridgeline is Unibody frame, right?

 

[Frenzy]

Not sure...its based off the Odyssey so yea I think it is

Yup...world's apart but now I have a nice pairing!

Thought about what I really need to carry and tow - 2024 Ridgeline has 1500 lb capacity/5000 towing, great resale, 0-60 in 6 seconds / Ram Rebel was 7.3 seconds - (Car & Driver).

And "coup de grace" a 2024 BMW Z4 m40i - Hardtop convertible, "almost 1 g acceleration" 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and handles like a go-cart on steroids

My wife says the Bimmer is the "Other half of my RHO" after the Ridgeline......

Based on Pilot....wider than a Ranger or Tacoma

I'm sorry but I could not disagree with this "assumed risk" line of thinking more strongly. These are nearly $90,000 vehicles. The internal combustion engine is not a new thing. RAM is not a startup.

Do things go wrong? Yes, of course. But to say it's ok or you should expect it as an early order is absurd to me. If that's the case, they should offer an early order discount for doing their testing for them.

Just my opinion, others are welcome to their own.

I agree wholeheartedly. It’s a new vehicle, this stupid shit nonsense is ridiculous and shouldn’t be released until resolved. WTF RAM

Well, it’ll never be in the Truck Gang

Ahhh you're correct

Agreed - esp given that I have the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with it. Hoping it’s a one-off issue for the sake of all you waiting. But sadly this is the norm, there are countless examples and not specific to RAM and sadly the price level does not matter. It’s just the way it is as vehicles become more complex. I do not think this a mechanical issue on a long-standing engine but a computer / electrical issue. Do I think they may have rushed to get to market, yes, but it could have very well have happened otherwise. We just don’t know yet. As an example, everything is wired different w/ different components per the team that tried to install the ‘24 AMP research power running boards who had done a ton of TRX installs.

As an update - batteries are in great condition. Cleared and driven again with active misfires pulling. They are planing to open a RAM care ticket or whatever they call it on Friday. Also taking a look at o2 censor
