2015 5.7 RAM 1500 with 5000km.
Intermittent starting issues since the day i drove off the lot. Every 10th start or so the engine does not catch first time. It seems to be worse on hot days after the vehicle has been parked on an incline (my driveway). The dealer has had it three times and they can't replicate the issue (???) or find a problem as nothing is being written to the CPU. Have it booked in for a new fuel pump but I am wondering if anyone else has had any similar issues and, if so, what the outcome was.
Also wondering if the hesitation and overall sluggishness is typical of the 5.7 when switching in and out of ECO mode? I can't recall any of the demos I drove having any hesitation when on the brink of being in ECO mode. Wondering if this is a related issue.
Other than that, great truck!!!!
UPDATE:
Fourth time in for repair. Dealer contacted Chrysler Engineering and they suggest replacing the ECM. Unfortunately Canada doesn't have lemon laws but if this doesn't fix it time to get my lawyer involved. Too bad because otherwise I love this truck.
