Emissions Malfunction

I bought this vehicle new. Idle to drive hours is optimal, but the vehicle is plagued with Malfunction Indicator/Check Engine Light. I was informed it is a problem with the emissions system with no known solution from the manufacturer.

Special ordered the vehicle. Received it in December. -20 below 0 and the dealer left it outside. Dead batteries and wouldn’t start. Currently 8 recalls of which none have been fixed. Two recalls are due to engine fires. Owners have been told to park vehicles outside and away from other vehicles due to fire hazard. I have been waiting over a year for repairs. Dealer says no parts available. Only 3,000 miles on vehicle over two years. I’m afraid to drive it! Numerous check engine lights and all kinds of electrical problems. Dealer service is non existent! DO NOT BUY RAM EVER!!! UPDATE: I bought this truck new, and still face recall problems. The recalls have ranged from engine fires, transmission, fires, and numerous electrical and sensor problems. The truck was shipped without sensors in the exhaust, and there are still no sensors available so that we call is incomplete. Just received another recall today, and there is no fix for it. Dealers response is totally inadequate, they don’t know when they will get parts blaming Antis for the problem. The truck is nearing three years old and has 4000 miles on it because of do not drive recommendations from the factory. I have Ram for 25 years. Never again. Total piece of junk, and the dealership does not stand behind them.

Own a hvac biz. Started with an 04 chevy 2500, traded for a new 2014 ram 2500, cheapest one you can get with the chrome package. I beat the snot outa that thing and had to put a rear u-joint in at 70k. Traded for a 2019, again, cheapest thing i could get with chrome package. Bout to hit 50k and not a blip so far. These things haul ass, 100mph @ 2500rpm and will run that chevy over while dragging a house. Rides alil stiff, but a 2500 should. Handles like a corvette. The bodies are paper thin so easily dinged but worst complaint is having to slam the door sometimes rwice to close it. My friends gmc closes with just a light push and click. I have zero use for 100 buttons and a big screen tv on the dash so dont have the petty issues others have.

Ram does the job, and does it well!

Got my 2500 Laramie less than a year ago. Really love the quality of it and the looks. When I purchased it, it had the best interior out of Ford and Chevy, which was important to me. Bummed out that during the production year I got it, due to the chip shortage they downgraded some packages, although mine has the tow group, it did not come with blind spot monitoring. Which is pretty standard on most trucks now a days. Gas mileage is really low, I knew that going in but I didn’t think it would be so low.. at around 12mpg in city/highway. I do have the 4:10 gears so a factor in this mpg. I love the truck either way, so far so good!

2500 Power Wagon

We have had vehicle 1 and a half months. The first day off the lot it would not start it had to be jumped. Since then it has had all kinds of system warnings flashing. It has not started five times. Constantly in the shop. It has had the recall updates installed and still having problems. We are beginning to feel like we bought a new expensive LEMON 🍋.
