Misfiring after 475 miles

[Frenzy]

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

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

Man that really sucks. Most of these issues were with the SO not the HO. This entire process has been terrible and now you and others are having serious issues with your brand new trucks, it’s outrageous. Hope it’s resolved quickly and you can get back to enjoying it.

Two TSBs out for the misfire one S2418000005 for airbox lid not secured properly and the second seems to be the best results to fix so far S2408000102 for the wire harness rubbing the cylinder head. There was some early o2 sensor concerns as well. Feel free to share with your service department. Defiantly worth a look...

LOL, I represent that video.....definitely not a "testosterone" truck!!

O2 sensors don’t like repeated cold starts without getting the manifold up to temperature. And what happens during the production/transportation process? Repeated starts where the vehicle is just driven a few yards & then shut down. And, it continues at the dealership!

So, don’t rule out the O2 sensor too quickly. But apparently, that was not the issue with the SO engines. Who knows? Hopefully an isolated issue that gets resolved fast.

I think the issue was more pronounced in SO because people can afford the SO vs HO. Just a thought

It's like watching a train wreck in progress. I can't look away. I hope stuff like this doesn't continue but I fear it will. I think I've dodged a bullet by moving on to something else. Really don't no what I was thinking when I ordered after the experience with my last Ram truck. Everyone has a moment of poor judgement I guess. Hopefully they'll get yours fixed and you want have anymore problems.

What did you end up getting?

What did you end up getting?

I'm going to stick with my Trail Boss 3.0 Duramax a little bit longer it has about 10000 left on warranty (so couple more months) and then I plan on getting either a Zr2 with the 3.0 or a At4. Damn it I just wish they had a little more get up and go. I guess it's a trade off for fuel economy. My tracker on the RHO updated today to production. I'm torn I like the looks and potential performance of the RHO but it would have to be a second vehicle if I do decide to take it. I wouldn't trust it as a daily driver and then there's the horrible fuel mileage. Maybe I'll be able to afford a second vehicle by the time the RHO arrives. That's a big maybe though.

Just general FYI for those that might care. I’ve had the RHO for a few weeks. Took the vehicle to dealer today as check engine came on this morning. Code came up as catalyst system low efficiency and multiple love voltage / battery shorts. They were able to clear the codes and took it for a drive during which they had multiple misfires. Vehicle has 472 miles. More to come

My 2025 Rebel did the same thing @1500 miles. Started with a slight misfire to not starting. Truck said on but not in park, but was running. They had to replace both battery, reprogram the system. After they started it for the 1st time had to disconnect the neg side of batter for 20 mins to clear system of a corrupt code that is downloaded for the wifi temp subscription. The TCM or TMC on the motor was doing a negative draw off the battery. Not sure just what I was told. Truck runs fine now.

Don’t know if this is at all related, but I’ve plugged my RHO into a charger/tender twice in 2 weeks. Both times, it went thru a full 24+ hour conditioning & charge cycle. Odd, as my previous experience has been for it to go “full float” within an hour if the battery was well charged from the start.

Both my batteries were replaced during PDI. Production date was 10/2024, so were both batteries defective or did some current draw from the truck drain them down too much? IDK.

How it was put to me was there was a corrupt code that was downloaded dealing with the wifi causing the TMC on the motor to neg draw on the ox battier. Even tho both battles showed good. The ox battles was bad. They had to clear out all programs replace both battery and download programs again. Then disconnect the neg side of the ox battles for 20 mins to reset the code. I am not a mechanic so only know what I was told. Good luck.
