Started the vehicle at 280 miles and the check engine light started flashing and engine running rough, sounding rough and stalling out. After restart check engine light was solid and I drove to nearest dealership. I was told it's Multiple Cylinder Misfire codes and that it's a known issue with these engines/models, that it will continue to happen intermittently on cold starts and that that Ram is working on it and was sent home. There is no known cause and no solution. The selling dealership, the nearest servicing dealership and Ram Customer Care have no idea how to help and winter is coming so all of my vehicle starts will be cold. The vehicle is brand new and the engine has major malfunctions and is unsafe to drive reliably.

Day 5 my check engine light came on. Code was showing multiple misfires in multiple cylinders. I cleared the code. Following week same thing happened again. By the weekend my battery was dead, when I got jumped, my dash said there was a problem with blind spot detection and the arrows on both side mirrors were stuck on. I manually shut them off and went on my way. Check engine light comes on showing low voltage. Dealership changes battery but says it-??s odd to have the misfire codes but doesn-??t address it. 3 days later check engine light is on again for multiple codes for misfirings. Take it to the dealer again where it-??s been sitting for the last week and a half. I get told today Chrysler has no fix for it and is closing the case and I can pick it up. I-??m sorry, what"? I-??m supposed to just take home a non correctly functioning $62,000 truck I haven-??t even made the 1st payment on? So it can what, strand me on the side of the road?"
