2025 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 3.0 I HURRICANE twin-turbo, SO, 420HP - check engine light

[Oldsnoop]

Here we go.

2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn with the 3.6 V6 Etorque. Did a 1500 mile road trip - no issues. A few days later, remote started my truck and it died. Started it up and it seemed "delayed" and threw a CEL. Immediately had it scanned and it showed "Random/Multiple Misfire." Cleared the code and it came back a day or 2 later.

Started it the other day cold and CEL began flashing and truck was stumbling at idle. After warm, it drives normally.

I'm 1500 miles from home on vacation in a rural area, so taking it to a dealer isn't really an option.

Just hoping it'll make it back home 1500 miles in a few days.

I got my truck back Friday. They replaced the fuel pump and so far (probably jinxing myself) all is well. Hopefully the Star Case is available for all dealerships and this is the fix for everyone and not a bunch of gremlins plaguing these new trucks.

It's funny how this misfire program has invaded the pentastar 3.6 now. What's going on Stelantis

Well I think this all but proves that this is most likely a software issue and not an actual problem with the 3.0 engine.

Yes, I would bet money on it.

Hopefully the misfire thing gets resolved and this is the first I’ve read affecting the 3.6L V6. Those have been used quite a few years already in the 1500. Although not in a Ram, we’ve own/owned 4 Grand Cherokees with the V6 and it’s been very reliable.

I stopped by the dealership yesterday. The "expert" from Detroit supposedly flew down last week and took whatever info he could gather back with him. They're speculating software issues as most of you have. In the meantime lots of speculation and wondering how long this is going to take??? I told the service manager I don't even want it back at this point. I'm currently looking for a legit lemon law lawyer in FL.

I wish you nothing but luck. The quicker you act the better. Once the process has started the manufacturer has a chance to fix it(if I recall FL law correctly). I would wonder if they could produce a software quickly for a lemon case.
