New Ram, disappointed

[SpinDr.]

I just got a 2016 Big Horn yesterday, today it's getting towed for no oil pressure. I hope I didn't get stuck with a lemon.

Not a good start ....

 

[MADDOG]

That could be something as simple as a faulty sensor, a loose wire or a computer glitch.

 

[SpinDr.]

I hope it is, it lasted to long to be a glitch. The pressure was erratic so it's likely an electrical problem. It doesn't give much confidence in quality though.

It's a little early to be claiming poor quality. Let's say there are 30,000 individual parts on your new Ram. If just one fails, intermittently, does that make it a poorly made product? That said, it's not what anyone wants to hear. Let's wait to hear the whole story.

I think it's a sensor, the worst part is it only has 100 miles on it and I only had it 24hrs.

My front parking sensor died in the first couple hundred miles. I just know I have a warranty, accept that things do break, get it fixed and roll on.

On the other hand, I completely understand your feelings.

I had a brand new 2004 Silverado, not even a 1000 miles on her, in the car wash bay for a quick spray off. I sprayed the taillight (from a normal distance) and shot it straight off the truck. It would have flown out the bay except it was still wired in.

A few weeks later, washing it again, the other taillight flies off. Dealership fixed both, last problem I ever had with that truck! So, don't get upset yet.

Only God knows what the reason is sometimes, that's crazy and hilarious

hah, imagine how I felt driving a brand new pretty red Silverado, with the Army's version of Gorilla tape (we called it 100mph tape) holding on my taillight assembly. Doesn't look too good!
oh well... every vehicle I have ever owned has had some kind of failure at some point, it's going to happen. Some are just funnier than others!

Welcome to the page I am a new owner myself only having mine about 96 hours so far and I went to activate the free one year of XM and nothing XM tells me it is faulty hardware and take it to the dealer

So far with mine i found a seat bolt under my seat that it did not need..Hood scoop was lifted a lil and when it went in for the auto start the tech who did the work hit a small something or other and put a v groove in my lower air damn..The bolt got toss cause it was an extra,scoop needed a new bracket thing(ordered and installed correctly)and the dig was fixed the next day..
Minor stuff but it happens,as long as they fix it i dont sweat it..

 

[CMil527]

welcome... sorry to hear man, hopefully they get you squared away!

 

[SpinDr.]

It was fine when they looked at it. They changed the sending unit anyway. It's been good so far. I hope I don't have more problems, I really like it. The dealer was good, Sent someone to pick me up and gave me a 2015 ram to drive while they had it.

 

[muttmutt]

Great news. Sounds like they really took care of you.

I'm glad to hear the dealership took good care of you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me in the event that you have any additional questions or concerns regarding your new Ram Truck.
