Sorry man, this must be frustrating. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
You are totally correct. Too much unnecessary technology gets in the way of actual transportation
Back in the 90s, I had a Chevy that was all about the essentials, just a solid body with an engine and transmission. That truck could run a million miles without problems. Now, Ram has packed in a bunch of unnecessary technology, which only leads to more issues. If I had the choice, I’d remove a lot of it starting with the passenger screen, hands-free active driving, evasive steering assist, intersection collision assist, drowsy driver detection, just to name a few.
Good news for you is they make that truck for 10k less haha
I took my truck in yesterday for the alignment issue... an alignment. They still have it because it takes 'special people trained on the vehicle' to do the alignment... what? Its not just how much tech its how unnecessarily difficult they've made it to do ANY maintenance on the vehicle... its frustrating.
Service Advisor called.
How many miles on your truck?
1,122 now. Noticed it around 900 last Friday.
She's back home. No issues.
What ended up being the solution to the issues? Anything had to be replaced?
to be fair, depending on the issues, you may be able to reset them with an obd2 reader (relating to battery swaps).
Nothing to fix, nothing to replace.
But a “known” issue with who? Dealerships or RAM? My RHO will be one of the first to hit my dealers service department so they won’t have any experience with it. I hope they contact RAM so they can provide this dealer with the “known” fix.
I would really love to know what it means to have a "bad module," like that could mean so many things. It could be h/w or component related, s/w or f/w related, it could be wiring/connection related...do we have any idea what they mean by this? I would assume it was a h/w or wiring issue; otherwise, I don't know why it would need to be replaced vs flashed to a new s/w or f/w. But if it is h/w related, how the fuck did so many bad modules get into these trucks? I mean I get semi-conductor components can have 'infant failures' where it all tests normally then fails after some amount of time but these are $80k+ vehicles so I don't know what to think about the quality control at this point.
Well if that happens stellantis/ram is going to be in a world of hurt because I don't know how many people will be ok with this outcome (having their $80k+ truck in the shop for weeks to get it back with no real certainty on a fix, especially after they have to rip apart the car to test/swap out parts). I know I would sell the truck in a heartbeat if this happened to me and I'd imagine a bunch of others would do the same. Now, if this is a pervasive issue and found on all 2025 models...Stellantis will be in a world of hurt and they would lose a lot of customers who would likely move to a different manufacturer.
