I PURCHASED MY 2015 RAM 1500 OUTDOORSMAN BACK IN DECEMBER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH IT NOT EVEN 5 MINUTES AFTER THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE AND I SIGNED THE PAPERS, MY SALESMAN HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE I GO OUT TO START IT AND WOULD NOT START. THE TRUCK KEPT TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL TO THE ENGINE. THE TRUCK WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE TIPM, I I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I BRING THE TRUCK HOME FROM THE DEALER THAT DAY I AM NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES I THINK THE TRUCK IS BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THE TRUCK IS TRYING TO TURN OVER AND START BUT STARVING FOR FUEL. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING TO GET IT TO START IT FINALLY STARTS NORMAL AND I TAKE IT RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME IT HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH SAID IT HAD A BAD (FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE). THE TECH INFORMED ME THIS IS A NEW PART FOR LATE MODEL 15'S AND GOING TO BE PLACED IN ALL OF THE 16 MODEL RAMS AND THAT HE ORDERED ME A NEW ONE. I RECEIVED A CALL 2 DAYS LATER MY RAM WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP. THIS IS AT ABOUT 170 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW AFTER I PICK IT UP FROM THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE BEING REPLACED, THE TRUCK IS RUNNING PERFECT. JUST WHEN I AM JUST STARTING TO GET COMFORTABLE THAT THE ISSUE IS FIXED, AROUND 2500 MILES I AM DRIVING THE TRUCK I GET STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I AM AT A STAND STILL FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SPUTTER, SHAKE, AND MY RPM'S ARE VERY LOW AND IT IS MISFIRING. I AM TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MILES A HOUR. AS I GET OFF THE ROAD IT SHUTS OFF AND WILL NOT START. SOUNDS THE EXACT SAME AS THE FIRST 2 TIMES. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR A 3RD TIME AND IT HAS MISFIRE, AND FUEL CONTROL MODULE CODES AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE REPLACING THE PCM IN MY TRUCK, HOPE THIS IS IT.
