Consumer Description
Vehicle has extremely rough cold starts, only after vehicle sits overnight and happens every single time on a cold start up. Vehicle will spit and sputter and nearly stall out. RPMs on the tach will jump from 1,500 to over 3,000 and rumble spit, stumble and sputter anywhere from 10 to 40 seconds before it ultimately settles out and idles out. Vehicle has been into the dealership now twice to be serviced and they won't fix it. First time the dealer said, "no codes, there is nothing wrong" and gave it back to me. I took a video of the issue called the dealership back, showed them the video and asked them to fix it. They then kept the truck for a full week. During that time, they acknowledged that 7 of 8 cylinders misfired on startup but that they could not find a fix for the issue. They stated that I probably had bad gas and that I should try different gas. I tried gas from numerous stations and always use 91 octane and the issue is still there on every start up. I'm afraid to drive my vehicle any distance from home or overnight as I may get stranded, and I have kids.
