Another day, another warning light

I just turned 500 miles and so far have had 2 weird issues that self corrected. First one was the traffic sign recognition icon had a seizure as I was going through a school zone and it was updating across different speed limit signs at about 50 signs per second, this went on for about 5 seconds. Then on the next startup the CEL was flashing rapidly when I started the truck. I turned it off and restarted it and it wasn't on anymore.
Mine has also doe that multiple times haha
 
I’ve had similar issues with warning lights…mostly forward collision & blind spot warning faults…2nd trip to dealer, tech contacted Ram’s technical assistance…I’ve been told it’s a software issue & there is currently no fix. They will notify me when a software patch is available…maybe a few weeks?

They said it was a widespread issue, but didn’t provide any exact numbers for trucks involved.
Ya and that’s what I’m mostly worried about, that they don’t have a fix. Unfortunately, I’m so damn impatient. I will probably offload the truck before they would have a fix. I would probably feel better if any of the dealerships around me had a loaner vehicle, but they don’t and always come up with excuses not to give one out.

My brother's dealer does exactly the same if you didn't purchase from them but using their service shop. Always the answer is all loaners are gone.

Ya when it comes to service and taking care of customers, dealerships are mostly worthless, at least that’s been my experience. You have to schedule an appointment so far out then when you get there that’s just for diagnostics and they wanna have the vehicle for a few days without giving you a loaner car. Straight up worthless. I think when I buy new cars for now on, I might try and have them write in a guaranteed loaner car in the contract or something lol. You would think vehicle service would be better as they have all these “service advisors” that mostly know nothing about vehicles mechanics either so when you describe a problem to them, they type it up in their computer, but don’t explain it to the technicians correctly… Straight garbage nowadays lol
 
So if they don't have a loaner vehicle, do they comp your in a rental car?

They do not. If this was a requirement I guarantee they would "find" a loaner.

Nope, the modern dealer structure serves nobody except the dealers.

Well..my last dealer was INCREDIBLE! BMW N Scottsdale. Wish BMW built an RHO equivalent. Or maybe not…it would likely cost well into six figures.

Some dealers are better than others, certainly. It's still an outdated system that serves really only to add an extra layer of markup between the manufacturer and consumer.
 
my local ram service center is 3 months out on average. makes me nervous as hell, havent gotten my truck yet. luckily have 3 other vehicles but still i need the rho for a majority of weekend activities.

I ended up just doing shit myself , never took it to the service center once. here in Bozeman, montana, stay away it is a fucking mini california portand commie shithole. i can say that cuz its my hometown thats been ruined. LOL! my biggest fear is the RHO needs something major and they are 3 months out and it just sits..

I just got this after 500 miles. It went off after I cleaned the front sensor but maybe be a coincidence.

lol probably a coincidence. I did the same, cleaned sensors, problem went away for about two days then showed its ass again lol.
 
Welp, took truck in. They fixed the steering issue with an alignment. They were surprised it was that off from factory. As for the electrical issues with all the fault/warning lights… they said it was due to a faulty engine oil sensor. It’s on back order lol so I gotta wait a few more weeks. Gonna be real pissed if that isn’t the fix lol.

How did they fix the alignment issue? My dealership can’t figure it out

That is a good question. On the sheet, it says that they adjusted the caster, camber, and toe
