2015 Ram 1500: misfire or rough idle

Filed Mar 21, 2023 · Engine · MI

My engine light came on. I had the dealer hook it up to their diagnostic machine. It came back that cylinder 4 was misfiring. They looked into it a little farther and my camshaft and Lifter was no good. I bought this vehicle used and there had been no recalls fixed on it. We did have the airbag recall fixed. The Hemi 5.7 engines seem to have this problem and is well-known for it.

I have flawlessly taken care of my Ram truck. My check engine light came on P0303, cylinder 3 misfire. I had to replace the camshaft and lifters on both sides of the engine due to a continuing design flaw in the Hemi engine. This is a well known issue and it should be addressed by the government.

Metal fragments in the engine and I have been to two different dealerships for powertrain warranty for repeated and ongoing repairs since fall of 2018 the first dealership did not replace the engine when the metal fragments were found in my engine after a cylinder misfire 5 and 7 they continued with all kinds of repairs and did further damage to my entire truck. I have since taken to another dealership where I was told and given proof for my VIN that I need an engine replacement but chrysler refuses to do it based on the powertrain warranty and stand behind the initial problem and what needs to be done (engine mark service manager . They decided to continue with part replacement after part replacement which is billed to chrysler under the powertrain warranty that I have on my truck. I believe they not only lied but committed fraud with all of these repairs. They could not even stop the oil from leaking each time they sent my vehicle home with me. I took it to billion in bozeman to have them look over for damages and see if my truck was properly repaired. I was told that I should have had an engine replacement due to metal fragments in the engine oil at the very beginning of the repairs. But butte decided to milk my truck and chrysler for hours and hours as well as parts that who knows if they really replaced them. They also damaged a handful of things on my truck that had to be repaired at billion dodge. I have never been treated or taken advantage of as butte mile high has done. In talking to others that know vehicle engine repair there were parts that do not break that they claimed broke, they also stated they honed a cylinder which would have required them pulling the engine and proper honing is all cylinders, not just one. They also cut pieces out of my basically newer truck (52,000) miles and left damages.

Truck has ecodiesel engine. Had it in for rough idle but could not find the cause. At 42141 miles driving on the highway and the egr valve went out. This caused the truck to go into limp mode. This valve was not covered by the power train, emissions or extend warranty. Ram would not help even though had it in before

I purchased my 2015 ram 1500 outdoorsman back in december. I have been having nothing but issues with it not even 5 minutes after the truck was delivered to my house and I signed the papers, my salesman had just left my house I go out to start it and would not start. The truck kept trying to turn over but was not getting fuel to the engine. The truck went back to the dealer they replaced the tipm, I I was told not to worry it is a common issue. I bring the truck home from the dealer that day I am not having any issues I think the truck is back to normal until the next day. The very next day I have the same exact issue the truck is trying to turn over and start but starving for fuel. After 15 minutes of trying to get it to start it finally starts normal and I take it right back to the dealer. This time it has a check engine light which said it had a bad (fuel pump control module). The tech informed me this is a new part for late model 15's and going to be placed in all of the 16 model rams and that he ordered me a new one. I received a call 2 days later my ram was ready to be picked up. This is at about 170 miles on the truck. Now after I pick it up from the fuel pump control module being replaced, the truck is running perfect. Just when I am just starting to get comfortable that the issue is fixed, around 2500 miles I am driving the truck I get stuck in heavy traffic. I am at a stand still for about 20 minutes the truck begins to sputter, shake, and my RPM's are very low and it is misfiring. I am trying to get over to the side of the road and the truck would not go over 5 miles a hour. As I get off the road it shuts off and will not start. Sounds the exact same as the first 2 times. I take it to the dealer again for a 3rd time and it has misfire, and fuel control module codes again. Now they are replacing the PCM in my truck, hope this is it.
