I bought my Ram directly from a Dodge dealer and it was certified. Thank god for the 3 month 3k mile bumper to bumper. Front disc warped, no big deal since the dealer replaced them. Loud squeak on front driver's window, no big deal since the dealer ordered a new regulator. Tachometer drops close to 0 rpms intermittently, no big deal since the dealer ordered a new instrument cluster. That was two weeks ago and I'm still waiting for the parts to come in, but now it has new problems. Every once in a while the idle fluctuates up and down especially in the morning. Then every once in a while the idle drops too much and engine starts vibrating...goes away with a bit of gas. I'm also getting a weird vibration...originally only felt through gas pedal, but now through the steering up to the steering wheel. I'm also getting weird sounds from under dash...kinda like arcing or something...very light and intermittent. I'm also getting a weird fizz like sound coming from the engine compartment that can be heard through the firewall...it gets louder with RPM increase. I thought it was an exhaust leak but checked it and couldn't find it. One thing I noticed, and I don't know if its normal, the electric fan comes on with A/C off and cold in the morning. Is my Ram hunted? I'm assuming the idle problems are related to a dirty or going out air control valve, but can't figure out the rest.

 

Well brother I dunno if your truck has had one but i would check the map sensor and then i would do a full tune up on it see if that fixes some of your idle issues. as for the electrical sorry i can't help you there. I would say if your still under warrenty then just take it back to them. does the lemon law apply?? I would go back and just yell at them about selling me a truck with so many issues especially a dealership. They are suppose to fix all the issues before selling the vehicle, unless its a different make.

 

u ever get a carfax on the truck? maybe it was floaded or sumthin weird. if u want i can run one for ya for free. mike

 

Its certified by the dealer so I'm going to let them fix it, just a pain since I live about an hour away. There is a bumper to bumper for 3k miles, I just have to keep bugging them to fix everything.

 

I appreciate the offer. Part of the certification process was to show me a carfax. It was a one owner truck bought from the same dealer. The previous owner traded it in for a new truck. No accidents or issues ever reported. I'm going to give them a chance to fix everything before seeking other avenues. It's a nice truck and got it for a good price. I shopped around for a while before deciding on this one.

 

Mine was doing the same thing and a new Throttle Position Sensor solved the problem
